戴姆勒公共汽车创建移动3D打印中心,用于备用零件的系列生产

German multinational automotive corporation戴姆勒AGand its service brandOmniplushave created a mobile 3D printing center for the decentralizedproduction of spare parts

移动容器将在汉堡的Busworld Home(BWH)服务中心运行,可以通过卡车运输到任何需要电力和互联网连接的位置。

“Thanks to the mobile 3D printing centre, we can exploit the advantages of 3D printing to a greater extent and further increase the speed at which we supply spare parts,” said Bernd Mack, Head of Customer Services & Parts at Daimler Buses. “Decentralised production of parts as required avoids warehousing costs and reduces transportation routes.

“因此,3 d印刷不仅让我们fas的反应t, flexibly and economically to customer requirements but to also improve our ecological footprint for the production of spare parts.”

3D打印备件

戴姆勒has been 3D printing spare parts for its vehicles for some time. In 2016, the company announced it would start3D打印备件for its range of trucks, and the year after announced the production of its first金属3D打印备件

In 2019, the companyannounced a partnership与瑞士SLS 3D打印机制造商Sintratec安装一个S2 3D打印机at itsEvoBusNeu-Ulm的生产地点。随着新打印机的添加,Evobus子公司在内部带来了3D打印,减少了服务和后勤成本。

The company also completed its下一代添加剂制造雷电竞充值(NextGenam)与行业合作伙伴的项目EOSand优质areotec,重点是生产用于汽车和航空航天应用的铝零件。

The pilot container spans twelve by three meters and is designed to provide bus customers with spare parts more quickly. Housed at the BWH service center, which already offers a range of services for Mercedez-Benz and Setra Buses, the container will enable the center to quickly produce 3D printed spare parts in-house.

容器是配备一个工业3 d公关inter enabling Daimler to produce series-production quality parts. The parts are additively manufactured with high-quality polyamide and meet the company’s production standards for injection-molding and deep drawn parts.

In addition to the 3D printer, within the container is a CAD workstation and a processing station where powder is prepared and parts are freed from residue powder in the final stage of the process. In an adjacent room there is a blasting system, which smooths the surface of components, as well as an air compressor. The container is also equipped with an industrial vacuum cleaner, an air filter, and an air conditioning system.

BWH汉堡在绘画方面的专业知识意味着可以根据客户要求直接完善3D打印的零件,因此,戴姆勒公交车正在为中心建立进一步的生产设施。

戴姆勒(Daimler)表示,未来的巴士客户将能够通过门户网站上的Omniplus购买3D打印许可证,然后通过经过认证的3D打印中心生产的相应零件。
