Automotive manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to produce stronger, lighter, and more heat-resistant components while reducing development time. Traditionally, producing high-performance parts required complex machining or injection molding, processes that often involve long lead times and expensive tooling.
Additive manufacturing is changing that landscape. With industrial 3D printing, engineers can produce functional parts directly from digital designs, allowing faster iterations and more flexible manufacturing.
For example, a manufacturer is developing custom air conditioning vents for vehicle interiors. These components often require complex geometries to optimize airflow and must withstand heat and continuous use inside the cabin. Producing such parts with traditional tooling, such as injection molding, can be costly and time-consuming, especially during development stages or for low-volume vehicle variants.
Using high-performance polymers such as PEEK and other PAEK materials, manufacturers can now produce durable, heat-resistant components using industrial 3D printing. However, achieving stable and scalable production with these materials has remained a challenge.
In an upcoming webinar, INTAMSYS will present the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO , a high-performance industrial 3D printer designed for reliable production with advanced polymers and a wide range of engineering plastics, including ABS, PC, and Nylon.
Supporting the full PAEK (PEEK, PEKK, PEEK-CF/GF) material family, the system delivers high printing speed while maintaining strong mechanical performance , making it suitable for functional components used in demanding environments.
Participants will also learn how integrated material management and monitoring technologies help ensure stable and consistent production.
Features such as actively dried filament storage prevent moisture from affecting sensitive high-performance materials, while built-in traceability and process monitoring tools record key production data for every printed part.
This allows manufacturers to maintain consistent quality , track production parameters , and support repeatable manufacturing across multiple applications.
Join the webinar to explore how industrial 3D printing can support everything from rapid prototyping to the production of durable, heat-resistant end-use parts for automotive and other advanced industries.
Please note that the webinar will be held in English.
