Founded on the insights and recommendations of the 3D in Auto Repair Task Force, facilitated by IBIS Global, Auto Additive and its founding partners Headlights.com & 4Plastic are set to revolutionize the supply of 3d printed tools, jigs, and repair parts such as headlight tabs.
Auto Additive is collaborating closely with key industry stakeholders in 3D printing, including HP, and Forecast 3D. The business is also leveraging advanced blockchain-driven software to deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet the highest quality standards in the aftermarket and OEM sectors.
IBIS Global CEO Jason Moseley commented, “We are excited to see the culmination of the 3D in Auto Repair Task Force’s work come to life with the launch of Auto Additive. This collaboration exemplifies our theme, ‘Transforming Tomorrow Together,’ by showcasing how industry stakeholders can join forces to drive meaningful change. This sets a precedent for IBIS and our industry to look at other areas and work together to address critical factors in the ever-changing collision industry.”
The core mission of Auto Additive is to provide safe, OEM-compatible, and industry-ready products, using proven automotive-grade materials backed by rigorous internal testing. By addressing issues around poor-quality parts and unknown material factors, as highlighted by the 3D in Auto Repair Task Force report, Auto Additive is paving the way forward in the industry.
Harold Sears, Head of the Strategic Advisory Council at Auto Additive, stated, “Auto Additive uses industrial-grade 3D printers and materials to produce the highest-quality parts, the same 3d printing technology also used by industry-leading vehicle OEMs.
Additionally, our advanced blockchain-driven software provides traceability and eliminates the misuse of our clients’ digital inventory, controlling where we print and how many. Each product has a unique alphanumeric identifier, searchable via our website, tracing to the batch date, location, and parts data, ensuring ultimate IP protection and product authenticity for Auto Additive’s clients,” concluded Mr. Sears.
Auto Additive is set to offer a range of services to meet the growing industry needs in the collision sector, including building custom parts catalogues, 3D printing and managing existing digital parts, engineering custom tooling, and working on tailored projects.
