UNIPARTS O.E.M. Canada, in cooperation with Parts Plex Inc. is pleased to announce its
exclusive supplier agreement with Auto Additive for the distribution of 3D printed headlight
repair tabs in the Canadian market.
As the official and exclusive agent for Parts Plex, the Uniparts team will be bringing the new sustainable technology to the Canadian Collision Industry with a growing line of 3D printed Auto Parts and Collision industry repair tools from Auto Additive.
This milestone marks a significant achievement in the automotive repair industry,
showcasing the potential of 3D printing technology to revolutionize repair solutions. The
journey to this point has been driven by relentless innovation and collaboration. The
development of these weldable headlight tabs has only been made possible due to recent
advancements in 3D printing technology and the evolution of 3D-printed OEM-compatible
polypropylene material.
Auto Additive states “This 3D printed material and process that is in line with GM’s
GMW18647 worldwide standards provides the durability and compatibility needed for high quality automotive repairs, ensuring that the new tabs meet or exceed current industry
practices for repairing headlight tabs, such as using two-part epoxy, industrial-grade welding rods, shaping putty, or low-grade printed parts.”
Auto Additive’s weldable headlight tabs are a testament to what can be achieved through
testing, collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. As we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the collision repair industry, we look forward to many more milestones and breakthroughs, including the launch of these parts to the broader market in Canada with Parts Plex Inc. and Uniparts.
