3i-Print stands for individualize, integrate and innovate with additive manufacturing. Altair's technology was applied on a VW Caddy Youngtimer with its integrated 3D-printed front end As a relatively young, high-potential manufacturing method, 3D printing - also known as additive manufacturing (AM) - is quickly gaining popularity in a variety of industries which aim to build lighter, better and more cost-efficient components. The technology particularly proves its strength in areas where conventional manufacturing has reached its limits. Industrial 3D printing allows for small-batch production at reasonable cost, and can also offer component customization in serial production. The need for lighter components in combination with a high degree of functional integration makes 3D printing particularly interesting for the automotive industry.
