A platform for building a plurality of vehicle types is disclosed. In an embodiment, a facility may include a processing system for designing a plurality of definition nodes for a vehicle and identifying a relative position for each definition node. Based on the design, the internal volume and other vehicle parameters can be determined. The facility includes a 3-D printer for additively manufacturing the definition nodes. In an embodiment, a plurality of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts are acquired and the definition nodes are designed to interface with the COTS parts. The facility may also include a station, or primary location where the major portions of the vehicle are assembled. In another embodiment, multiple such geographically-distributed facilities can be used, such that one facility can manufacture a desired vehicle type on behalf of another facility, e.g., in the event of an overflow.

    公开了一种用于构建多种载具类型的平台。在一个实施例中,一种设施可以包括处理系统,其用于设计载具的多个定义节点并为每个定义节点确定相对位置。基于该设计,可以确定内部容积和其它载具参数。该设施包括用于增材制造定义节点的3D打印机。在一个实施例中,获取多个商业现货(COTS)零件,并且定义节点被设计成与商业现货零件对接。该设施还可以包括工作站,或组装载具的主要部分的主位置。在另一实施例中,可以使用多个这样的地理上分布的设施,使得例如在超流的情况下一个设施可以代表另一设施制造期望的载具类型。
