By using the Stratasys T25 high-speed print head for its additive manufacturing, Subaru has reduced tooling development time by over 50 percent while significantly reducing overall prototyping and tooling costs. Subaru's engineering teams, which support the development of accessories and assembly tools, are also among the first customers to use the new T25 high-speed head, according to Stratasys. They are using the system to improve speed, consistency and responsiveness in workflows that are critical to keeping Subaru vehicle assembly lines running smoothly.

This is the T25 high-speed nozzle from Stratasys, which, in combination with the F770-3D 3D printer, also manufactured by Stratasys, can more than halve component production times.(Image: Stratasys)

Large Component Production Using 3D Printing is Getting Faster

With the T25 high-speed head, Subaru has been able to consolidate production on the Stratasys F770 platform, improving repeatability and part quality early on, while achieving faster turnaround on urgent tooling requirements. This approach to 3D printing has helped Subaru to respond more effectively to changing requirements and reduce reliance on long lead times and outsourced manufacturing. This makes Subaru more reliable in terms of stable manufacturing. According to Subaru, customers can enjoy the fact that components can be delivered more quickly. Last but not least, the T25 is more than twice as fast when it comes to large-format components. By producing large tool components faster in-house, manufacturers can improve operational efficiency while maintaining quality and control, as Stratsys summarizes the benefits of using the T25 high-speed nozzle.
