The first spare part printed via the NextGenAM pilot project from Daimler is a retainer for a truck diesel engine.

Daimler announced that the NextGenAM project for developing an automated metallic 3D printing process has concluded; the results of the nearly two-year-long pilot project demonstrate that the cost of manufacturing aluminum parts could potentially be reduced by half.

The NextGenAM "Additive Manufacturing" (aka 3D printing) project was conducted by Daimler in partnership with Premium Aerotec and EOS.
