CASE STUDY 04 · Automotive Wheels & Structural Components
Global Tier 1 Automotive Components Manufacturer
Steel and aluminium wheels and structures · Operations across the Americas and EMEA
THE OUTCOME
Arcessio identified which parts justified additive manufacturing and matched them with qualified regional production capacity — reducing risk before production investment.
Screened in the PoC; three selected for metal AM in maraging steel
Kick-off to validated components and a contracted regional supplier
Mechanical performance and cycle time versus CNC machining
The challenge
The business runs on tooling and molds that only pay back at high volume. Finding which of thousands of global assemblies and fixtures justified additive was a needle-in-a-haystack problem.
The solution
A proof of concept screened 25 parts across tooling, testing adapters, spare parts and complex products, with break-even analysis against traditional manufacturing and in-plant validation.
Manufacturing intelligence used
- BOM Analysis
- Cost Analysis
- Process Selection
- Regional Manufacturing
- Supplier Matching
Results achieved using the manufacturing intelligence technology that now powers Arcessio.
