Direct digital manufacturing of plastic parts has come a long way. But, how close are we to do-it-yourself manufacturing?Advancements in FDM technology are making it possible to not only use additive manufacturing for rapid prototyping, but low-volume manufacturing too. In fact, muscle cars are being restored today using low-volume manufacturing. The Pit Viper, a restored supercharged 1968 Ford Mustang built by TPI (Total Performance Inc.), is an impressive example. After exploring traditional manufacturing methods, the team at TPI chose RedEye by Stratasys, a 3D printing service, to produce their parts because it was faster, easier and eliminated tooling. Now the team at TPI simply uploads their CAD data online to produce new parts, make replacement parts or accelerate product development with new prototypes.
