3 days of assault to complete 4 sets of bumpers and instruments
An automobile first-tier supplier
Challenge
A first-level supplier of an automobile OEM received a project instruction from the OEM and needed to produce 4 sets of automotive instrument and bumper prototypes within 3 days to participate in the OTS review. The original supplier's CNC production cycle required at least 7 days per set. If the samples were If you fail to meet the review meeting time, the SOP progress of the vehicle project will be delayed. CNC? SLA?..........
Countermeasures
Based on the technical requirements and time requirements for the use of customer samples, RPS conducts process analysis with customers and recommends the use of 3D printing. The material properties can basically meet the usage requirements.
At the same time, all resources were mobilized internally, emergency production was scheduled, and a 24-hour relay production mode was adopted to complete the 3D printing task of a part weight of more than 60kg within 55 hours!
The original plan was to transport the disassembled parts to the main engine factory for assembly, and finally rush to complete them at RPS.
Customers exclaimed it was impossible and praised it repeatedly!
In response to the customer's temporary request, RPS sprayed a batch of parts before the delivery date, so that the parts that the customer participated in the review gave the OEM a great visual experience.
Result
RPS makes undeliverable delivery possible.
A win-win situation, customers successfully deliver samples on time and save costs.
Cost comparison
3D printing costs 70,000 yuan expedited, which is a 30% savings compared to CNC.
Production process, cost, delivery time
CNC, RMB98000, seven days
SLA, RMB70000, three days
Savings ratio, 30%, 4 days in advance
Customer Reviews
Engineer Yang Gong: Such a cycle was unimaginable in the previous prototype production. I didn't expect that RPS's production capacity and assault capabilities are so strong. Not only can the prototype be completed within three days, but some time can even be saved for appearance processing, my customer is very satisfied with our early delivery of samples! RPS helped us get this project! More importantly, it has changed the prejudice against 3D printing SLA over the years, and it will not cost more to produce CNC prototypes in the future.
