 | For the automotive industry, it means completely new application concepts, lighter parts as well as time and cost savings for the product development. According to the Wohler’s Report 2020, the automotive industry is leading the charge of 3D printing, accounting for 16 percent of all AM expenditures. Therefore, this white paper provides an introduction of AM application of thermoplastic polyurethane for car interior. First, the essential requirements of automotive applications are discussed, and the benefits of 3D printing technologies are illustrated in various use cases. Afterwards, selected test results and certifications used to achieve the requirements of materials in car interiors are introduced. Beyond printing, the benefits of using simulation and post-processing are explained. In this white paper:
