Large 3D-printed equipment – a game changer in the automotive industry? Until now, equipment was mostly made of steel or aluminum – expensive, heavy, and often assembled from multiple parts. 3D printers were usually too small. But it doesn't have to be this way. Walter Automobiltechnik GmbH saves considerable costs by printing assembly fixtures and quality assurance tools up to one cubic meter in size. The result? Individual testing and assembly aids are now an integral part of quality assurance. Customized fixtures ensure greater efficiency and automated checks. But that's just the beginning! 3D printing opens up completely new possibilities. Whether tool holders, grippers, or practical workplace aids – engineer André Lenz uses the printer for clever solutions throughout the entire company. André Lenz explains: Our BigRep – Large-Format 3D Printers ONE enables us to produce large components – without great expense. A real game changer! For WAT, 3D printing is not a trend – but a lived reality and the future.

PTC Contact Heaters of the HP series are dynamic heating elements for precise heating of solids and liquid containers. They consist of a contacted PTC heating element pressed into an aluminum profile. The aluminum profile features a flat design and mounting holes on the outer profile surface which allows for flexible installation and optimum heat transfer. PTC Contact Heaters of the HP series are available in four versions with maximum surface temperatures ranging from 80°C to 200°C, suitable for a voltage range of 12 - 24V or 100 - 240V AC or DC (multi-voltage capable). PTC Contact Heaters come with all advantages of the PTC heating technology. Thanks to the PTC effect, the heating elements dynamically adjust their power without exceeding a maximum temperature. High operational reliability and energy efficiency without any additional switching elements.
