South India’s First EOS P 396 Industrial 3D Printing Machine

industrial-3d-printer-for-automotive
  • Large Build Volume – The EOS P 396 features a spacious build size of 340 x 340 x 600 mm, enabling the production of large components or high-volume batches in a single print cycle. This makes it ideal for industrial applications requiring size, scalability, and efficiency.
  • High Print Resolution – With adjustable layer thickness between 0.06 mm and 0.12 mm, the machine ensures smooth surface finishes and precise detailing. This high resolution is crucial for creating both visual prototypes and functional, end-use parts with tight tolerances.

  • Advanced Laser Power  – Equipped with a 70-watt CO₂ laser, the EOS P 396 offers fast, consistent sintering of powdered materials. The laser ensures uniform energy distribution, resulting in strong, dimensionally accurate parts suitable for demanding engineering applications.
  •  Material Versatility Range – The machine supports a broad range of high-performance materials, including PA 12, PA 11, and filled polymers. This allows manufacturers to choose the best material for each application, from lightweight parts to components with enhanced strength or heat resistance.

3D Printing for Automotive Parts

Smart Automotive Prototyping

Automotive prototyping is vital for testing and validating vehicle components before full-scale production. It allows engineers to assess design accuracy, fitment, and functionality. This early evaluation reduces development time, minimizes costly errors, and ensures high performance, safety, and reliability in the final automotive product.

Lightweight Automotive Components

3D printing allows the production of lightweight yet durable automotive parts, helping improve fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and boost vehicle performance. This innovative approach supports sustainable manufacturing without compromising strength, reliability, or design flexibility in modern automotive engineering.

Advanced Geometries for Automotive Design

Advanced geometries in automotive design make it possible to create highly detailed and custom-shaped parts that boost aerodynamics, improve heat dissipation, and combine multiple functions into a single component—achievements that are difficult to match using conventional manufacturing methods.

 Spare Parts Replacement

On-demand manufacturing enables the efficient reproduction of rare, obsolete, or low-volume automotive parts. It is especially valuable for classic car restorations, limited edition models, and aging vehicles. This approach reduces inventory costs, shortens delivery times, and ensures reliable access to essential components no longer produced through traditional manufacturing methods.

Custom Fixtures and Tooling

Create highly accurate jigs, fixtures, and assembly tools customized for automotive production. These tailored solutions streamline manufacturing processes, enhance assembly precision, reduce human error, and significantly cut down on tooling costs and lead times, leading to more efficient and cost-effective vehicle production.

Frequently Asked Questions

 We can print a wide range of parts, including prototypes, custom components, brackets, housings, interior panels, ducts, and even tooling or jigs for manufacturing.

 Yes. We use industrial-grade materials that offer excellent strength, heat resistance, and durability suitable for functional testing and even end-use applications.

 We accept most standard 3D formats, including STL, STEP, and OBJ. Our team can also help with file preparation if needed.

Because it prints strong, detailed, and high-quality parts quickly. It’s perfect for making tough and complex parts used in vehicles.

There are several factors that determine the time it takes to 3D print a part. These include the size, height, complexity of the printing technology used. This can vary from as little as 30 minutes to several days.
We accept STL, STEP, IGES & XT formats. STL files are the primary 3d printing file format so that is always the best & default format.
For FDM & SLA there isn’t any minimum order fee applicable, With our 3D Printing service, you have the option to order as few as 1 item.
However, With SLS & DLP Methods due to the process cost a minimum order value of 1000rs is applicable.
Usually standard shipping lead-times of 1-2 working days is applicable for the Southern states and charges vary between 150 to 550rs depending of the shipping mode and box dimensions, For Northern states lead-time of 3-4 days and prices in the range of 550 to 1000rs
In all the 3D printing methods we have the option to split the component and fuse it later so that even 1-meter parts can be build.
However, as a single print we can build up to,
FDM 3D Printing – 345 x 520 x 650mm
SLA 3D Printing – 800 x 800 x 450mm
SLS 3D printing – 320 x 320 x 600mm
DLP 3D Printing – 124 x 70 x196mm
Our machines deliver high precision, with tolerance and fine detail resolutionideal for parts requiring dimensional accuracy and consistent performance.
