The company designs and manufactures the Mono R for sports car enthusiasts and collectors, so produces small-batch bespoke parts. Each Mono R vehicle is individually tailored to the customers’ specifications – for example, the seat is moulded to the driver, the steering wheel grips are moulded to the driver, the colour scheme of the car is chosen, and even the race suits are made to measure. The UltiMaker 3D printing ecosystem has
enabled BAC to produce fast and inexpensive highly customisable and high-quality parts, delivering significant improvements in their design iterations, cost reductions, and overall
manufacturing efficiency. Ian Briggs, design director and co-founder of
BAC, said: “Over 44 different parts of the car are 3D printed now – structural engine components, wing mirror supports, light surrounds. We’ve really embraced 3D printing and the design freedom it’s given us. The UltiMaker ecosystem allows us to bring all the different aspects of our production together to be constantly optimised and stored in one location.” BAC engineers are currently running three
UltiMaker S5 3D printers. The company quickly produces and tests multiple design iterations, incorporating customer feedback or making refinements based on functional requirements. This enables the creation of highly customisable parts that are optimised for performance, ergonomics and
Efficient thermal management is crucial in electric vehicles to
maintain optimal temperatures for various components, an area TECHSiL specialises in. Thermal interface materials such as thermal gap fillers, adhesives, potting and encapsulation materials, are ideal for EV battery module assembly, assisting with the vehicle power electronics process and electrified powertrain applications for the integrated drive motor and e-axle. For over 30 years, TECHSiL has been supplying the electronics &
automotive industries with high-grade materials from their offices in the UK. Working in partnership with world renowned manufacturers such as Momentive Performance Materials; Hönle UV Technology & Panacol Adhesives, TECHSiL is excellently placed to supply high performance materials to a wide variety of manufacturing challenges. The company solves application issues with the help of its technical experts, who can offer full pre- and post-sales support where required.
aesthetics. Parts can also be produced as needed. “The UltiMaker Digital Factory has made it
possible to improve manufacturing processes for prototyping for production parts on BAC,” said Thomas Tunstall, bodywork technician and 3D printing operator at BAC. “For example, I can pre-slice print jobs and save them to the digital warehouse, which saves me a lot of time for future prints. Digital Factory also enables us to integrate the printers with our software, which allows me to remotely manage the printers, projects and teams.”
Michael Briggs, senior vice president and president of the Motion & Energy Business Unit, at Nidec, said: “We are proud to be partnered with Embraer, and are confident that Nidec Aerospace will spearhead the electrification of aircraft with our shared drive, complementary expertise and wide breadth of technical and manufacturing capabilities.”
This simple tool allows users to create their own QR/bar codes, scan QR/bar
codes, select the right quantities of product they wish to order, and complete an order in the ERIKS web shop. The QR codes generated can be affixed on a customer’s racking, boxes or wherever their machine is, and their process is then fully integrated into the ERIKS web shop. The App also allows users to search for products, to set up a favourites list
and to build a shopping cart. It also shows lead times for products. Many products are picked, dispatched and delivered in 24 hours to most of the UK via ERIKS’ Fulfilment Centre of Excellence in Oldbury in the West Midlands. The ERIKS App can be downloaded from the Apple App store or from
Google Play, just search ‘ERIKS App’.
