The steering column control module now integrates various functions into the steering wheel, providing a range of safe and convenient functions for the driver. Providing connectivity between all the useful buttons and switches and their control functions, from steering signals and wipers to cruise control, and even heating the steering wheel itself, is the job of the clock spring. A puck located under the steering wheel in the steering column control module. Learn how digital manufacturing can help shorten product development time for tech companies around the world. |
Which material is best for automotive applications?
ThermoplasticChoose from hundreds of thermoplastics, including PEEK, acetaldehyde, or offer your own material. Use custom colorants to maintain brand for qualified projects.
nylon3D printing functional prototypes of several nylon materials provided through selective laser sintering and Multi Jet Fusion. Mineral and glass - filled nylon improves mechanical properties when needed.
Liquid silicone rubberSilicone rubber materials such as fuel resistant fluorosilicone can be used for gaskets, seals and piping. Optically transparent silicone rubber can also be used in lens and lighting applications.
aluminum This general-purpose metal for lightweight has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and can be machined or 3D-printed.
