There is a relationship between the trucking and 3D printing industries. But where do these seemingly disparate industries connect? And furthermore, what is 3D printing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                         <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, is a\nprocess by which a three-dimensional object is created using a digital file. It\nis called additive manufacturing because the process involves laying down a\nlayer of material bit by bit until an object is created. Each layer is applied\nusing a technical process, thinly sliced, across a membrane. 3D printing offers\nan advantage over traditional manufacturing in that you use less materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method of manufacturing represents a true shift into\nthe future. It all begins with a 3D model created on a computer. The model is\ndigitally scanned and then sliced, which basically means the software divides\nthe model into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers. Once the model is\nready to go, it can be programmed into the 3D printer using a USB, SD card or\nWi-Fi connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It really is a fascinating way to create an object. Many\nindustries can customize 3D printing machines to suite their needs and\napplications, which is exactly what trucking OEMs are doing. Would you ever\nhave guessed they were gearing up to use 3D printing to accelerate their business\nmodels and increase efficiency?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Trucking and 3D Printing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trucking is dipping its toe into the 3D printing world\nthrough the process of remanufacturing. Remanufacturing traditionally involves\nremoving material for restoration, but when 3D printing is involved, nothing is\nremoved. Rather, the remanufacturing of the truck part involves adding additional\nlayers to smooth out any problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As truck parts age, <a href=\"https:\/\/quicktransportsolutions.com\/blog\/filling-the-technician-pipeline-for-trucking-companies\/\">fleet\ntechnicians<\/a> and managers are always looking for ways to extend the life of\nthose parts. If the opportunity presents itself, why not jump on it? It just so\nhappens that this time it is handled through 3D printing. 3D printing changes\nthe remanufacturing process by allowing a core component to be essentially\nbuilt back up. The bigger the component, the higher the cost to replace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where additive manufacturing comes in, you can extend the overall lifecycle of the component. When you go with traditional remanufacturing methods, removal techniques put a limit on how many lifecycles you will get out of that component. Regrinding metal, over time, simply wears the part down to a point where it is no longer safe to operate with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                              <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, with 3D printing, you can put replacement layers back\nonto a part, essentially breathing new life into it. In this way, you can\nremanufacture the part over and over without having to replace it just because\nit has worn down. Imagine being able to get six, seven, eight or more lives out\nof one original part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OEMs have already begun using 3D printing to radically alter\ntheir manufacturing process. Navistar, as one example, restores cylinders using\nbore spray welding, which deposits the original metals onto the part and\nessentially returns it to its original specifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certainly, <a href=\"http:\/\/additivemanufacturing.com\/basics\/\">addictive\nmanufacturing<\/a> did not start with 3D printing. Yet, new techniques are\nbreathing even more innovation into the process. Whether it be through cold\nspraying or other methods, applying complex metals to surfaces is becoming\neasier. Still, a lot of the new methodologies are under development and still\nunproven. Properly operating truck parts are critical to the safety of truck\ndrivers and others on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How is it Done<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3D printing is applied in the trucking industry through two\nmethods. The first method is called directed energy deposition. This method is\nused to make standalone parts or to repair damage to an existing part. This\nmethod can also be used to convert a component to a new specification. This\nmethod can also be combined with other methods to create new core components or\ncreate multiple components to be put together into a larger piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other 3D printing method makes internal components for\nexisting parts. One method used is plasma transfer, which uses plasma to reform\nmetals and then layer them onto a core component. Companies primarily use these\nversions of additive manufacturing to print or remanufacture low-volume parts\nwhere the original might no longer be available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key is having the original design blueprint for the\npart. With the original design blueprint, you can print the part or part\ncomponent and remanufacture it many times over. 3D printing can also be used to\nprint assembly process part batches. Making metal fixtures the traditional way\nis far more expensive than merely printing them for a few bucks. And with\nlimited use parts, you can be assured they will last a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what about cost? Certainly, this isn\u2019t a free value\nproposition. Fortunately, 3D printing has a tooling cost of zero, but it is a\nlittle more expensive from a piece part perspective. But even more than saving\nmoney on a part, the other part of the equation is time. As anyone in business\nwill tell you, time is money, and being able to save time can \u2013 in the end \u2013\nsave a lot of money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real advantage to 3D printing and additive manufacturing\nis the time saving factor. Being able to 3D print your own part, rather than\norder and wait for it, puts a lot of time back in your pocket. Furthermore, if\nyou print something and it doesn\u2019t work, all you need to do is go back and\nrework it and try again. The ability to quickly try new methods gives\nbusinesses a distinct advantage, increases overall efficiency and helps to\nreduce cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3D Printing and the Aftermarket<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While additive manufacturing by itself has been around a lot\nlonger than 3D printing, 3D printing as a technique because it enables\ncompanies using it to deploy new products or components relatively quickly,\nwhen compared to the old methods. This is also quite true for companies\noperating in the aftermarket segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies moving parts in the aftermarket very often must\ndeal with old, obsolete, or otherwise non-functional parts. In many cases,\nthese parts may be hard to come by. 3D printing allows aftermarket providers to\nproduce parts that would otherwise be far too expensive from a remanufacturing\nand casting perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many cases, OEMs won\u2019t even produce a low volume of old\nor obsolete parts. Suppliers working in that field are very particular about what\nthey will agree to recreate. With 3D printing, trucking companies get around\nthe tough casting issue and overall costs decrease. Simply put, 3D printing is\ncritical to aftermarket OE remanufacturers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When part volumes decline, suppliers exit the business. Yet,\nwith 3D printing, OE providers ensure they are supporting any client with any\npart need. It becomes easier for them, and the fleets they work with, to manage\ntheir commercial motor vehicles from the moment they step off the lot to the\nmoment they are scrapped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Not the Final Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to remember that, as with anything else,\nadditive manufacturing and 3D printing has limits. While these techniques bring\na lot of value to the remanufacturing and aftermarket space, they are not an\nend-all, be-all to all problems. Indeed, there are limits to what this\ntechnology is capable of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the big limits currently inhibiting what can be done\nwith the technology revolves around the type of material being used. With some\nmetals, current 3D printing technology simply does not have the right\nresolution to meet the needs of certain applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The specific problem lies in something called material flexibility. As an example, there is not just one type of aluminum, there are many. When a 3D printing machine can layer on a dozen different types of aluminum, that will be a game changer. Remanufacturing using 3D printing is only as good as the technology underpinning the printing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                              <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, the printers must be able to create the core\ncomponents using the material that it can manipulate. There are also some\ntechnical issues to get past. Some vehicle components have surface parts that\nrequire complex machining and tooling. With the material limitations on\nadditive manufacturing these days, there are many parts that simply cannot yet\nbe printed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another complication lies in the metallic and non-metallic\ncomponents of a part. Not all printers can switch between materials quickly and\ncost-effectively. Still, over time, as the technology evolves, these\nlimitations will decrease. 3D printing for trucking applications will greatly\ninfluence how materials are sourced. As these technologies mature, trucking\ncompanies will get even more out of their use. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have read the title and figured it sounds kind of absurd, but it is all too true.
