Case Study: Brose Group achieves cost-efficient serial AM production with Synera

Brose Group cuts development time by 60% with Synera

The Brose Group, a top-five family-owned automotive supplier, faced high production costs that prevented the use of additive manufacturing (AM) in series production. Their manual, experience-dependent design process for cost-optimizing parts resulted in numerous iterations that were limited by conventional software. They turned to the vendor Synera to address this challenge.

Synera implemented automated engineering workflows to optimize part designs for production costs. This solution enabled Brose to develop stackable designs with minimal post-processing, making AM cheaper than conventional production. The results included a 60% reduction in development time, parts that were 60% lighter, and a 20% decrease in production costs.
