Accelerate Your Production with Audi Sport’s 3D Printing Workflow

Revolutionizing Tool, Jig, and Fixture Production in Days

When the Audi E-Tron GT was introduced, Audi Sport’s Böllinger Höfe facility in Heilbronn faced an urgent need for almost 200 new tools, jigs, and fixtures. Traditional design and outsourcing methods would have taken weeks or even months, but Audi Sport turned to design automation and 3D printing to streamline their workflow.
 

“We produce nearly eight hundred tools, jigs, and fixtures for our factory,” says Cem Guelaylar, 3D Printing Expert at Audi Sport. “Outsourcing takes weeks or months, but 3D printing delivers these tools in just a day.”
 
“Fixturemate allowed us to bring trainees up to speed quickly,” Guelaylar notes. “They can design and produce fixtures in no time.”
 
Audi Sport’s integration of 3D printing has reduced tool production costs by over 80% and cut delivery times from weeks to a single day. With Fixturemate, designing fixtures is no longer limited to CAD experts, enabling anyone to create the tools they need.
