Especially making the necessary mold is very complicated. There is also a sustainability aspect to it: 3D printing requires significantly less material, and grain residue can be reused.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"847\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/02_Ford-opent-nieuw-3D-printcentrum-ter-ondersteuning-van-productie-1-1140x847.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150614\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Experience<\/h2>\n<p>The brand already has a lot of experience with 3D printing. The Ford plant in Valencia has a special team in its 3D printing lab compiling a catalog of 5,000 printable parts. These provide solutions for different stages of the manufacturing process in the plant. In 2021 alone, the department made a total of 20,000 printed parts. At the Cologne plant, any Ford employee can submit an application through an app. In doing so, they can include their own drawing of the desired part or a description of what they need it for.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/P6JpVgTQgPw\">This<\/a> timelapse video shows a holder for sheet metal samples being made at Ford&#8217;s 3D printing center:  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"12 printers In the new 3D printing center, 12 advanced 3D printers produce all kinds of plastic and metal parts.&hellip;","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":131450,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[94,93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-131543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-background-en","category-car-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>This new 3D printing center Ford is using for the first European-built electric Ford - All cars news<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/all-car-news.com\/en\/this-new-3d-printing-center-ford-is-using-for-the-first-european-built-electric-ford\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"This new 3D printing center Ford is using for the first European-built electric Ford - All cars news\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"12 printers In the new 3D printing center, 12 advanced 3D printers produce all kinds of plastic and metal parts.
