REGIS & Lobotics

REGIS Motor is an Italian automaker which have decades of engineering experience, their mainly business are producing and selling a series of heavy-duty electric vehicles for professional purposes. REGIS Motor focusing on the professional fields of human-environment relationships, safety and driving experience. Each model of REGIS vehicles can be modified according to the requirements of their customers, providing customized equipment with high standard of safety, sustainability, quality and innovation.

The cooperation between REGIS Motor and Lobotics is not only because Lobotics satisfy their demand for customized mass production, but also because the vehicle components printed by Lobotics 3D printer have passed the certification of European regulations of vehicle. Besides, Lobotics’ additive manufacturing technology is conforming to the environmental protection trend of sustainable development, which coincides with the concept REGIS.

Advantages of Manufacturing a vehicle by using Lobotics 3D printing technology

1.Customized needs

The continues development of automobile industry requires to incorporate new technologies whereas the technologies in the vehicle production are highly complex, which makes automobile industry challenging the competition between the traditional and new technologies, and high technical threshold. Automakers and suppliers are interested in the technologies which can effectively reduce costs and satisfy their can meet their strict standards for quality, safety, production efficiency and mass production as well as the increasing demand for personalization and customization.

2.Simplify the production processes

REGIS originally used the traditional injection molding method to manufacture vehicle components. The whole production process is complex and costly, contains a series of steps: amalgamation of mold pieces, filling plastics, pressure maintaining cooling, mold removing. In additive manufacturing, the early stage of the injection molding can be skipped. The component will be printed directly after the 3D modeling design is completed. The combination of additive manufacturing and fully automatic post-processing dramatically reduce of production cost. This is one of the main reasons why REGIS choose Lobotics.

3.Improve production efficiency

Efficiency, quality and cost are the main factors driving production decisions. Additive manufacturing has great potential to simplify the whole process from design to production. It can reduce costs and improve efficiency which are impossible to be achieved by traditional manufacturing. REGIS needs 1-2 months from design to produce a component when they use traditional injection molding manufacturing. After using Lobotics 3D printing solution, the complete set of components were completed within only 4 days, which greatly improving the production efficiency.
