Additive Manufacturing for Truck, Bus & Rail

Brake Systems & Pneumatic Controls

Optimize compressed air system performance, quality, and reliability by reducing component weight and part count and integrating multiple functions into a single part. 3D Systems offers a breadth of additive manufacturing technologies and materials that can help you enhance your product development and manufacturing process with quick iteration and production of innovative brake systems and pneumatic controls.

Power Electronics Enhancement

Unlock new efficiency in energy transmission and increase the durability of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGTBs) and inverters with more effective heat sink systems enabled by conformal cooling channels. As a bonus, this unique AM capability can also solve a wide range of packaging challenges. 3D Systems’ applications engineers have extensive experience across a wide range of industries to help you design innovative heat exchangers and heat sinks with the best material and process for your transportation applications.

Interior & Passenger Comfort

Differentiate your vehicle interiors to optimize comfort, functionality and riding experience for both passengers and operators with faster innovation, iteration, and validation on production parts without tooling investments. With our innovative polymer materials and advanced software applications, you can 3D print prototypes with realistic textures and surfaces as well as final production parts that meet the latest transportation industry regulations.

Molds & Patterns for Sand Metal Casting

Accelerate production delivery, optimize parts, and reduce manufacturing costs by creating reusable patterns and cores for the traditional sand-casting production process. Our advanced software applications and large selection of composite SLA materials will help you to quickly and easily optimize designs and produce patterns and cores with excellent wear resistance and superior surface finish for the final part.

Manufacturing Aids and Production Tooling

Bringing new high-quality products to market fast is critical across industries. Productive assembly aids, cost-effective manufacturing tools and precise gauges help the transportation industry meet and exceed customer expectations.

Use our additive manufacturing solutions to reduce cycle time from design to production, implementing fast and accurate manufacturing aids and production tools to optimize your process, increase productivity and improve overall operations

Body Exteriors and Panels

Designing and optimizing body exteriors for your transportation asset often requires multiple iterations to maximize performance while maintaining your product’s visual brand identity. The inability of conventional processes to meet your schedule often results in a compromised solution.

With 3D Systems’ portfolio of hardware, materials and software, you can accelerate product development without compromising your designs. Produce large-size panels and exterior components with our broad range of large-format 3D printers, including FDM, SLA and SLS technologies and production-grade materials.

Electrical Harnesses & Conduits

Accelerate design and validation for electrical wiring and harnesses, optimize cable routings and reduce installation labor with 3D printed connectors, complex cable retainers and custom conduit fittings.

Our production-grade materials and additive manufacturing solutions save you time and money by reducing part count and expensive injection molding tooling and delivering parts on-demand and on site for your vehicle’s electrical wiring harnesses and cables.

Industrial Seals and Gaskets

Improve the quality and reliability of your products by preventing failures from external contamination. Quickly validate designs for special seals and gaskets to protect critical systems and vehicle components from extreme environments and go to production without tooling. 

With 3D Systems’ solutions and the expertise of our application innovation group you can leverage the design freedom of AM to customize the characteristics and properties of your seals in a single piece.
