Bentley Uses 3D Printing to Design Vehicles

Bentley makes to scale models in hours instead of weeks to validate designs and increase time to market.  

“We can simulate what a car is actually going to look like and show our bosses absolute reality.”

 – Kevin Baker, Design Model Manager.

This  helps speed up the approval process and make sure the concept of the design is perfect before investing too much time and money in working on flawed individual components.

Check out the video below and remember that you don't have to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment to get the same models and prototypes that Bentley makes in house if you contact RapidMade!

A Great Infographic Breakdown of the 3D Printing Market

Everybody loves infographics, almost as much as they love 3D printing. Combine the two and you get a pretty concise look at some important metrics in our field, like what technologies and service bureaus people use, the make-up of professionals in the field, and why people use 3D Printing.
