The automotive industry consists of a vast network of suppliers and vendors producing millions of parts for the thousands of assemblies and subassemblies that go into every vehicle on the road. At Egar Tool and Die, the challenges are two-fold. First, the company must be able to quickly produce dies to meet customer requirements. But as a producer of more than 15 million stamped parts and welded assemblies annually, Egar must be able to quickly retool for different jobs. To do it, the company is investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, including metal 3D printing.
