There are three main ways to achieve lightweight:The optimal design and application of materials;The optimal design of product structure;The development and application of advanced additive manufac

In recent years, with the continuous development of 3D printing technology, its corresponding market application degree is also deepening, and its application in various fields is becoming more and more

Additive manufacturing is also known as 3D printing technology, after decades of development, it has become more and more important in various industrial fields. In the automotive field, manufacturers...

Printing a lightweight design by Siemens on Eplus3D EP-M260 Dual-Laser System. The total weight of the accelerator pedal was reduced by 62%.

Printed with highest accuracy on EPlus3D’s EP-M260, the aluminum made parts can easily dissipate the generated heat and therefore improve the performance of the racecar.

Eplus3D has successfully customized a 3D printed auto exhaust pipe for a car modification manufacturer, and now the exhaust pipe has been used in a Ford Mustang car for assembly trial.

The most accurate numerical calculation methods, a topology- and production-optimized design, as well as the printing of the aluminum component on Eplus3D's metal 3D printer EP-M250Pro, can achieve a weight saving of over 50% and thus an extraordinary increase of performance of the whole car compared to with the previous CNC-milled component.

What is Customization? Why is Customization Relevant to Business? Why Using Additive Manufacturing for Customization? What are Advantages of Additive Manufacturing for Customization?

In order to ensure a smooth production of the components, several optimizations are carried out to ensure the manufacturability of the topology-optimized component. These are developed in a project together with participants of the Delta Racing e.V., the machining specialist Klaeger Präzision GmbH & Co. KG as well as with the consulting team of Eplus3D.

With the help of the Eplus3D team and its latest additive manufacturing technology, they can use a high-precision 3D printer to reduce the wall thickness of the cooling water jacket, thereby reducing the overall diameter.
