Escudero Auto is a company specialized in mechanical development, design, and manufacturing. Since 2021, Escudero Auto has been using Raise3D printers for prototyping and small batch manufacturing of the end-use products, particularly focusing on the automotive industry.
High-Quality and Functional Parts
Escudero Auto uses Raise3D printers to produce end-use parts with exceptional quality, particularly in structural applications. Their goal is to create parts that are ready to use immediately, without needing additional surface treatments such as painting or polishing.
With the help of 3DGBIRE, Escudero Auto has incorporated carbon-filled materials into their 3D printing processes, resulting in strong, precise components that require no post-processing or finishing.
Seamless Connectivity with ideaMaker
Raise3D’s ideaMaker slicing software provides powerful functionality, including real-time online printer management, which connects to the ideaMaker Library for sharing and downloading models, and RaiseCloud, a web-based program for remote 3D printing management. Together, they create an efficient and seamless workflow for Additive Manufacturing. Escudero Auto can control their printers remotely, adjust parameters, and monitor progress. This level of control is a standout feature that has greatly enhanced their efficiency.
Automotive Applications
Escudero Auto uses Raise3D printers to create mechanical products and automotive parts like brackets, supports, and gaskets. The use of carbon fiber-filled materials has allowed them to replace metal parts with 3D-printed components that meet the demands of structural integrity and precision.
Comprehensive Support from 3DGBIRE
Over the past three years, Escudero Auto has received exceptional support from Raise3D’s reseller – 3DGBIRE, including guidance on materials, filament options, and equipment. This partnership has enabled them to grow the fleet of Raise3D printers and optimize their production workflow. As the Director of the Escudero Auto, Carlos D. Escudero said,
“3DGBIRE offered amazing support, covering everything from raw materials and filaments to explaining the differences between theRaise3D E2 and E2CF to get the most out of the machines.”
Continuous Investment in 3D Printing
The Raise3D E2CF desktop 3D printer is excellent for end-use parts. Carbon fiber reinforced filament has low density, high strength, and it is resistant to corrosion, static electricity, and high temperature. It has potential for a wide range of applications within industries that need considerable strength-to-weight ratio in their solutions.
Escudero Auto has steadily expanded its 3D printing capabilities by investing not only in Raise3D printers like the E2 and E2CF, but also in supplementary equipment like dryers and ovens for annealing. This enables them to further enhance their production processes.
Raise3D Solutions Empower Escudero Auto
As the director said, “The main focus was to replace metal parts with 3D printed parts, reducing costs compared to traditional machining processes, saving up to 50%”.
With a deep passion for vehicles, Escudero Auto brings a unique blend of creativity and expertise in crafting innovative solutions. Escudero Auto continues to blend 3D printing with traditional manufacturing methods, getting the best of both worlds when producing high-performance end-use products. Their success showcases the potential of Raise3D’s solutions in creating durable, functional parts with minimal post-processing.
