Automotive
3D Printing

From concept part to functional fixture

Automotive teams — OEM, aftermarket, and restoration alike — use VAP 3D for the parts that don't justify traditional tooling yet, or that need to be tested before a tooling commitment is made.

• Prototype components — trim pieces, brackets, and housings for fit and function testing.
• Custom and low-volume aftermarket parts — where injection moulding tooling isn't cost-justified at your volume.
• Jigs and assembly fixtures — custom tooling to speed up production-line or workshop assembly.
• Restoration and replacement parts — recreating obsolete or hard-to-source components from reference parts or scans.

Backed by industrial-grade capability

Automotive work draws on the same industrial manufacturing and metal 3D printing capability VAP 3D uses for other engineering clients — so parts are built with mechanical performance in mind, not just visual accuracy.
