- Jig boards through AMPublication . Monroy, Anabel Virgínia Gonçalves; Silva, Francisco José Gomes daTo guarantee the customer requirements in the production of wire harnesses, Yazaki has studied and prepared components to implement in Jig boards, assuring its specifications, such as dimensions, colors, and connection types. Currently, these components are manufactured by machining processes, in technical plastics. Regarding the new technologies for plastic parts production, by additive manufacturing, this process was considered as a good way to save time and costs in the production of internal components, like Connector Holders (CH), whose are commonly applied on the Jig Board. However, the use of components additively manufactured needs to be tested and validated to be considered for inclusion on the jig boards in the near future. Furthermore, regarding the possibility of material waste reduction, which can pursue the environmental principles followed by Yazaki, this work was considered extremely important by the company, attracting its attention and boosting its involvement in this work. New components for jig boards were produced using additive manufacturing, and these components were deeply tested using mechanical and non-mechanical means. The results showed that these Additively manufactured components are ready to be implemented in the near future in jig boards, complying with all the requirements initially imposed. Moreover, the implementation of these components is faster than the previous machining process, shortening and simplifying their manufacturing times, because they can be designed and printed by the same person. This new process is aligned with the lean principles, allowing the reduction of wasting time and material consumption.
