GM team members are leveraging Stratasys FDM® additive manufacturing solutions to rapidly produce tooling, fixtures, jigs, factory aids and end-use parts, with facilities reporting significant savings.
Stratasys combines industrial FDM production systems , production-grade materials, software and application expertise to design, build and integrate qualified additive manufacturing solutions into existing workflows and processes. Manufacturing teams across multiple GM production facilities in North and South America have deployed Stratasys platforms to support dozens of manufacturing applications spanning tooling, quality, safety, and ergonomics for years.
Stratasys F900® FDM industrial production printers enable manufacturing teams to share and scale proven applications across facilities , while achieving rapid returns on investment through lower tooling costs, reduced lead times and improved operational efficiency.
"General Motors demonstrates what becomes possible when additive manufacturing is fully integrated into production operations," said Yoav Zeif, Chief Executive Officer of Stratasys . "Together, we've created an approach that turns factory-floor innovation into enterprise-wide business value, helping manufacturing teams improve performance, reduce costs and scale proven solutions across their operations."
Across its manufacturing network, GM uses Stratasys additive manufacturing solutions to produce ergonomic production aids, quality-control tools, fixtures, protective components, tooling and replacement parts that help improve productivity, reduce downtime and accelerate problem-solving. Manufacturing teams are able to develop solutions locally, validate them quickly and share successful applications wherever they are needed across the organization.
"Our greatest asset is our people," said Doneen McDowell, Manufacturing Vice President, GM North America Full Size Truck and Large SUV Assembly Operations, General Motors . "If we can give people the tools so they can own the outcome within their footprint, and then take those solutions and replicate them across our footprint where they apply, we'll get the best outcome."
GM's deployment demonstrates how additive manufacturing can transform factory-floor innovation into enterprise-wide manufacturing performance. By combining empowered teams, standardized technology and proven applications, manufacturers can accelerate problem-solving, reduce costs and improve operational efficiency across their production networks.
