Abstract

Developing new products through additive manufacturing is becoming imperative in today’s industry, mainly because this technology enables the production of products in just one step. For the Automotive industries, additive manufacturing is centered on prototypes to accelerate the product design phase. The concept evaluation phase needs to be optimized to provide mechanical and kinematic evaluation but not overloading the design teams with assembly tasks. This paper presents ongoing research focusing on producing head-up displays kinematic concept solutions by selective laser sintering technology using part consolidation additive manufacturing principle. To achieve this, several production tests were performed with one particular kinematic automotive system concept solution, changing design concepts. The performed tests permitted to better understand the limitations and capabilities of the laser sintering technology process.
