Automobile manufacturing

1.Pain Point 3: Personalized and Small Batch Production Needs

The automobile consumer market is transforming from "scale and standardization" to "personalization and customization", and consumers' demand for customized body appearance, interior components, and performance configurations is increasingly prominent. At the same time, the rapid iteration of new energy vehicles has given rise to a large demand for small-scale trial production. In the process of developing new vehicle models, the trial production of key components is usually only a few dozen to a few hundred pieces, and the traditional mold manufacturing cycle is as long as 3-6 months, with costs reaching hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan, which is difficult to meet the needs of rapid research and customized production.

2.Pain point 2: Integrated processing requirements

The requirements for structural complexity and functional integration of core components of automobiles, such as engine cylinder heads, transmission valve bodies, battery cooling plates, etc., are increasingly increasing. Traditional manufacturing processes have obvious limitations: casting processes are limited by draft angles and core structures, and cannot achieve integrated molding of complex internal flow channels and lattice structures; Although forging technology can improve material properties, it has poor adaptability to complex shapes and requires multiple process splicing, which not only increases assembly errors but also reduces structural reliability.

3.Pain point 1: Low carbonization and lightweight requirements

In traditional automobile manufacturing, the body, chassis, and power system components rely on forging, casting, and cutting processing, with material utilization rates generally only 40% -60%, and high energy consumption and pollutant emissions during the production process. ​ The electrification transformation has further intensified the demand for lightweighting - in the context of the lack of breakthrough improvements in power battery energy density, for every 10% reduction in body weight, the range can be increased by 5% -8%, while reducing battery load and extending service life.
