Tesla, which paved the way for electric cars, is now seeking to change the entire automobile production process. According to the information revealed, Tesla is pursuing the use of 3D printing and sand for the production of electric cars.
Tesla will accelerate electric car production with 3D printing
Tesla continues to make moves that shape the automobile world. The brand, which ignited the electric car revolution all over the world, can also open a new era in automobile production.
Accordingly, Tesla will produce the entire lower body in one piece instead of traditional automobile production techniques. Normally, in traditional methods, the 400 parts that make up the lower body are produced separately.
Thanks to the Giga Press, Tesla can produce chassis very quickly.
Tesla is seeking to make underbody production much faster by using 3D printing and sand in electric car production.
Automobile manufacturers do not prefer to mold the lower body due to its complex structure and the need to make fine adjustments. It was also revealed that Tesla had been trying and perfecting his new secret technique for a long time.
Accordingly, Tesla will produce molds made from solid sand cores created by 3D printing. Thanks to these molds, it will be possible to produce the subbody in a single process with the unibody chassis production technology Giga cast.
With Tesla switching to this new production process, it will need to install much larger Giga Presses. According to experts, this is why Tesla needs a much larger production area.
However, the growth of the production area and the need for a large Giga Press are not the only problems. Currently, one of the biggest problems for electric car production with 3D printing is alloy. It turned out that sand core molds, especially those produced at high heat and pressure, did not last. In this sense, Tesla is trying to solve this problem by making the final fine adjustments to the alloy.
It is not clear when Tesla will implement 3D and sand molds in electric car production. Predictions are that Tesla is accelerating its steps to switch to this new production process in all its factories.
So, do you think Tesla can create a new revolution in the entire automobile production process with this new production process? We are waiting your comments.
