Traditional manufacturing processes have difficulty amortizing mold costs in large-volume production
Small batch orders struggle to achieve economies of scale
Manual operations lead to large product quality fluctuations
Difficult to control precision of complex structural parts
Traditional equipment has limited capacity, difficult to meet delivery deadlines
Multi-process flow leads to long production cycles
Dependence on external suppliers, uncontrollable delivery times
Multi-level supply chain increases management costs
Faurecia, a global leading automotive seat supplier, uses CreatBot D1000 series large-format industrial 3D printers for rapid internal prototyping of seat bases. The 1000×1000×1000mm oversized build volume can print the entire seat base at once without splicing. Using UltraPA-CF high-strength material, delivery time is reduced from 2-4 weeks to 10 days, a reduction of over 85%, with costs reduced by 70%, supporting true agile development processes.
