Recently, it was learned from overseas media that mercedes-benz has taken another important step in the manufacturing transformation: the use of 3D printing technology to produce metal parts. Not only that, Mercedes-Benz said that the link passed all the strict quality tests.

This is the first time that 3D printing technology has been used to produce automotive parts. This part is a thermostat made of cast aluminum alloy to replace the old Mercedes-Benz truck. Because of cost-effectiveness and flexibility of creation, this luxury brand will choose to apply its professional 3D technology to such an unknown field. Once replacement parts were rarely ordered, and the use of this technology means that Mercedes-Benz can quickly produce small quantities at this stage.
With the development of technology, Mercedes-Benz envisioned a future. In this future, special components can be quickly replicated to create higher standards for classic models. After the assembly line is closed, 3D printers can make the production of rare or unknown automotive parts easier. Another benefit is that warehouse reserves and complex transportation will be almost eliminated by on-demand 3D printed mechanical components.
This process also means that no additional tools and development work is required, only a 3D printer and digital files with part specifications are required, and any geometry component can be copied by touching the button. In addition, Mercedes-Benz's engine components, cooling systems, gearboxes, axles and chassis components can be replicated with 3D printed metal components.
It may take some time for us to mass produce 3D printed parts, but now the technology is developing at a rapid rate until one day, we will not look for precious parts in a haystack, but print a new one directly on site.
