Multi-axis design bench - In Gear - advertisement

Automotive Design & Production, July, 2002

Who: Rapid Line Industries, Inc. (Joliet, IL)

What: RL-7000 rapid prototyping design bench

Why you should care: Rapid Line Industries says that the RL-7000 can dramatically reduce new vehicle development time, increase precision and reduce costs because its multi-axis arms can be positioned on the fly anywhere within the tubular frame of the bench to speed set-ups and adjustments.

Pertinent Data: The bench's design eliminates the need for dedicated tools for designing frame, suspension, powertrain and body components, and is consistent with automaker's common process concept. It is currently being used to design and manufacture concept cars and to prepare race vehicles.
