Metal Prototyping the future of Automobile Industry: A review

Abstract Metal Prototyping an advanced Rapid Prototyping technique has shown a very high potential to reduce the time of manufacture and cost of product effectively. Implementation of metal prototyping to the extent of 4D Printing improves the future of small, medium and large-scale enterprises of Automobile industry. This paper gives a glance of metal prototyping to Automobile Industry. The implementation of future metal prototyping Automobile industry involves 1. Re- engineering model generation for spare parts of two, three, four-wheeler Automobiles, 2. Mathematical and software simulation by using FEM techniques, 3.3D Printing, 4. Metal prototyping though 3d/ 4d printing, 5. Prototype testing and research labs are described in detail. Finally this review gives a glance on future Automobile Industry through metal Prototyping
