    • How does 3D printing help solve problems?

      What are the pros and cons of 3D printing?

      Specific questions to ask:

      ·         Parts commonly 3D printed:

      ·         What types of vehicle parts can be 3D printed for collision repair (e.g., trim pieces, brackets, clips, custom moldings)?

      ·         Are there any limitations on the size or complexity of parts that can be 3D printed?

      ·         Benefits of 3D printing in collision repair:

      ·         How does 3D printing expedite the repair process compared to traditionalmethods? 

      ·         Can 3D printing help reduce the need for special order parts, decreasing repair time? 

      ·         Does 3D printing allow for custom part fabrication to fit unique damage situations? 

      ·         Materials used in 3D printing:

      ·         What types of materials are typically used for 3D printing in collision repair (e.g., ABS plastic, nylon, flexible polymers)? 

      ·         Are there material options that match the original vehicle parts in terms of strength and durability?

      ·         Quality and accuracy:

      ·         How is the quality and dimensional accuracy of 3D printed parts ensured? 

      ·         What quality control measures are in place to guarantee the integrity of 3D printed parts?

      ·         Cost considerations:

      ·         How does the cost of 3D printed parts compare to traditional replacement parts?

      ·         Are there situations where 3D printing might be more cost-effective for repairs? 

      ·         Repair process with 3D printing:

      ·         What steps are involved in creating a 3D printed part for a collision repair (e.g., scanning the damaged area, designing the part, printing, finishing)? 

      ·         How is the 3D printed part integrated into the overall repair process?

      ·         Customer impact:

      ·         Does using 3D printing for repairs affect the turnaround time for customers? 

      ·         How can 3D printing potentially improve customer satisfaction in collision repair? 

      ·         Shop expertise:

      ·         What level of experience does your shop have with 3D printing technology in collision repair? 

      ·         What training do your technicians have in using 3D printing for repairs?
