The (traditional) automotive industry is also faced with new competition, which is largely focused on electric and autonomous vehicles. Additive manufacturing has the potential to be transformative in the automotive sector. Because it is a digital workflow, there are many efficiencies to be gained, not only in how and where products are manufactured, but also how they are designed, tested and eventually distributed. Using advanced tools and workflows, parts can be developed in CAD and optimized with the help of data validation software and printed when and where they are needed.
