This process includes\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3D-compare\/ultimaker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ultimaker machines<\/a>\u00a0to manufacture fasteners and tools. The company\u00a0explains that thanks to this new production method, they can possibly save up to 1,000 \u20ac per tool.\u00a0So far, the American company has created fifty tools to use for its new Ford Focus.\u00a03D technologies also allow them to choose between a wide range of materials, thus testing the resistance of different prototypes. Learn more about how Ford is implementing automotive 3D printing in the video below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jrJ3_26sEIE\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Top 2: The testimony of Adrian Bowyer<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adrian Bowyer, the man at the origin of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/reprap-3d-printer-301020174\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RepRap<\/a>\u00a0movement, explains the origins of his project of accessible and self-replicating 3D printers through this unpublished testimony.\u00a0In 2000 he bought his first two machines, at the time such machines were still very expensive as there were no\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/low-cost-3d-printer290320174\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low-cost 3D printers<\/a>\u00a0yet.\u00a0He quickly realised that he could use these 3D printers to replicate some of their pieces. This is the moment his RepRap project began to take shape.\u00a0The RepRap movement is used both to develop self-replicating machines but also to manufacture a tool that can print all kinds of parts as needed.<\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-3594386811\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/3717757396787\/WN_sBfwcCHoQSq1mEANYpWa6Q\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LB (3)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/LB-3.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VV0Tjwq7Uc0\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Top 3: Plastic bridge<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span>The 3D printed plastic bridge was presented to you this week.
