Optimizing Wire Harness Manufacturing with Additive Manufacturing

Wire harnesses are essential components in automotive, aerospace, electronics, and telecommunications industries. These complex cable assemblies streamline electrical connections, ensuring efficient power and data transmission. Traditional manufacturing methods rely on CNC machining, leading to high costs and long lead times.

With Stratasys SAF technology, manufacturers can leverage industrial-grade 3D printing to produce custom wire harness fixtures, reducing costs and accelerating production.

Why Choose SAF for Wire Harness Fixtures?

Speed icon

SAF technology enables up to 400 fixtures per build in hours, drastically cutting lead times and streamlining production.

Cost saving icon

With 50-70% savings over CNC machining, SAF eliminates expensive tooling and speeds up low-volume production, making it highly cost-effective.

Design icon

SAF allows for complex geometries using PA11, PA12, or PP for durability. Poka-Yoke features enhance accuracy, while embedded serial numbers improve tracking.

How SAF Technology Transforms Wire Harness Manufacturing

Traditional wire harness manufacturing requires manual labor and machining, leading to long lead times for custom jigs and fixtures. SAF 3D printing disrupts this model by enabling:

  • Rapid turnaround for prototypes and production parts.
  • Cost-effective, low-volume, and high-mix production without tooling costs.
  • Scalable, repeatable manufacturing to meet the demands of automotive and industrial applications.
