…and personal protective equipment (PPE) in the battle against COVID-19. GM has leveraged 3D printing for prototyping applications for years—in fact, 75% of the parts in the 2020 Chevy Corvette prototype were 3D printed. Now, fresh off a commitment to add 17 new Stratasys FDM 3D printers, GM is expanding 3D printing into production-grade applications like tooling and parts manufacturing. Today, more than 700 GM employees are trained in the technology, and there is a significant effort underway to leverage 3D printing for the design and development of tooling to achieve time-to-market advantages, weight reduction, and cost efficiencies, according to…
