Different types of electrical connectors used in vehicle’s electrical harness and wirings

Develop and Validate Electrical Harnesses Faster

Electrical harnesses are a vehicle’s nervous system. With the development of hybrid and EV propulsion systems that need to demonstrate efficient thermal load management before deployment, electrical harnesses are now even more critical. 

Thanks to new material developments, 3D Systems enables our customers to produce wiring systems and conduits that meet commercial and public transportation performance requirements over long duty cycles.
