The toolmaking unit of German multinational automaker Volkswagen has opened a new advanced 3D printing center. Located in the automotive hub of Wolfsburg, Germany, the facility occupies 3,100 m² of floor space, and houses a range of cutting edge metal additive manufacturing machines. At this center, VW will be investigating the potential of binder jet 3D printing for prototype and tool production. In the next 2-3 years however, the company expects to be introducing the technology for end use production of parts, which will be key to achieving its projected rate of large 3D printed parts in quantities of over 100,000 units per year.
