The future of truck parts and spare parts could be in 3D printing (yIII)

3D printing made of ABS is truly the future. Many bumpers and other vital truck and car parts are already made from this material because it is flexible, easily springs back to its original position if not hit too hard, and has a reasonably high melting temperature. And on top of that, the material can be painted, drilled and sanded without problems, if a primer is applied to it, which would increase its durability.

The main drawback faced by this type of technology is that for To be able to "print" large parts such as wings, bumpers or a door, for example, a large printer would be needed, capable of copying large volume parts. Tests are also beginning to be carried out with other materials such as aluminum and it is proving relatively easy to replicate parts for dashboards, interiors and plastic elements, and even camshafts and bodywork.

As 3D printers and their technology are Increasingly cheaper to manufacture and use, experts predict that in the medium term a large part of the simple parts of vehicles will already be manufactured using this technique. And the spare parts and spare parts, too.

One of the elements with the greatest chance of being replicated with 3D photocopiers in spare parts stores such as recambiosdelcamion.com and Recambios España, is the range of lighting: headlights, pilot lights, lampshades, etc. However, we currently only have original spare parts for this segment, many of them on offer in the coming weeks, such as the Volvo rear light, the Volvo rear glass, the square work light with five LEDs or the multifunction rear light with LEDs.< /p>
