AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING

The automotive engineering industry needs to enhance its manufacturing processes, streamline supply chains, and update logistics systems to keep up with consumer expectations for more advanced and high-performing vehicles. Insource Design Tech's extensive array of digital manufacturing services provides a comprehensive answer to these issues. The automobile production field is leveraging breakthroughs in contract manufacturing technology to attain unparalleled aerodynamic efficiency. As a frontrunner in intelligent manufacturing, we are optimistic that the automotive sector will experience significant benefits from the effective solutions we provide. 

VACCUM CASTING: Vacuum casting is a replication technique employed for the efficient production of limited batches of functional plastic components. It stands out for its ability to swiftly generate high-quality prototypes or finished products using dual-component silicone or polyurethane molds. When considering rapid prototyping methods for plastic or rubber parts, vacuum casting emerges as a valuable option for quickly prototyping injection-molded components. Notably, this process accommodates a diverse range of materials that exhibit properties comparable to industrial-grade materials, ensuring a premium surface finish akin to that achieved through injection molding.

INJECTION MOLDING: Automotive injection molding stands out as a primary method for manufacturing plastic components in the automotive sector. This process offers an effective means to produce large quantities of high-quality, injection-molded car parts utilizing various polymers. Within the auto industry, where ensuring reliability, safety, and quality are paramount, automotive plastic injection molding plays a pivotal role. Manufacturers of automotive parts must adhere to stringent safety standards and undergo various certifications to ensure their vehicles meet roadworthy criteria.

Choosing the right plastic material is crucial for the production of injection-molded vehicle parts. Several popular materials for plastic injection molding include:

• Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)

• Polyamide

• Polypropylene

• Polyvinyl chloride 

LASER CUTTING AND FABRICATION: Laser cutting utilizes a high-power laser beam to precisely cut materials, providing the automotive industry with high-quality, precise, and quickly processed components. This adaptable technique ensures diverse end-product versions early in production. It's employed in crafting car and truck parts, including floor and roof rails, heat shields, doors, seating frames, and body sides, using materials like stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and plastic alternatives.

Fabrication technology involves crafting products through cutting, combining, and assembling raw materials. To address industry challenges and promote eco-friendly automotive solutions, manufacturers must continually innovate. Sheet metal fabrication transforms steel or aluminum sheets into various parts, such as floor pans and body panels, using cutting, punching, and folding. Materials include plastic, sheet metal, steel, brass, and aluminum.

3D DESIGNING: The 3D design process is crucial for developing detailed layouts of new vehicles, defining parameters like minimum die angles and filleting radii. Utilizing CAD systems, designers can automatically generate high-quality surfaces that meet all CAD design specifications. CAD also offers various 3D design features for enhanced edge blending and chamfering. Outsourcing 3D designing services from Insource Design Tech for automobile companies brings several advantages:

AUGMENTED REALITY: Automobile manufacturers are leveraging augmented reality (AR) to enhance the development of new vehicles, starting from conceptualization to initial testing. AR for automobiles encompasses various modes such as WebAR, Mixed AR, and Mobile AR, ensuring a seamless AR experience across diverse digital platforms. The range of augmented reality services extends across auditory, visual, somatosensory, haptic, and olfactory realms, providing a rich and immersive experience.

Through the use of AR in the automotive design process, engineers can intricately sketch and design highly precise auto components on computer devices, allowing them to visualize the final product with greater accuracy. Additionally, sales professionals can employ AR through headsets or smartphone cameras to showcase a car's functionality, serving both as an effective sales tool and for marketing purposes. This technology empowers customers to immerse themselves in a comprehensive display of data, covering aspects such as speed, performance, weight, as well as detailed insights into interior and exterior components.
