“Die Zusammenarbeit von Škoda Auto und Prusa Research veränderte unsere Denkweise über die Produktion.”
Škoda Auto ist ein tschechischer Automobilhersteller und ein wichtiges Mitglied des Volkswagen Konzerns. Das Unternehmen begann mit der Einführung kostengünstiger Druckerfarmen im Schweißwerk, bevor es diese auf alle seine Betriebe ausweitete.
Eine unterbrochene Lieferkette drohte, die gesamte Linie zum Stillstand zu bringen. Die schnelle Prototypenentwicklung und Massenproduktion von Kunststoffabdeckungen stabilisierte die Getriebe und rettete über 13.000 Autolieferungen.
“The results exceeded our expectations and subsequently very significantly influenced the expansion of plastic 3D printing to our other facilities.”
Jana Polášek Filová, Expert Coordinator for Digitisation and Innovation in Production and Logistics at Škoda Auto


“Due to problems in the supply chain, 3D printing farms were tasked to help with completing the finalization of Škoda Superb and Karoq models in Kvasiny plant where there was a problem with a gearbox rod supply. Printed plastic covers were used to stabilize the gearbox in a neutral position. Without that, the cars wouldn’t be able to complete their journey through the production process.”

Customer story ETH Zurich
The architecture department’s HYTAC programme trains 300+ students a term, and each of them assembles an Original Prusa kit in two days before printing anything. It started as a maintenance problem: the university could fund the machines, but not the people to keep them running.
“I cannot imagine a world without 3D printing. It just would not work!”
