This week we found the top 5 videos about 3D printing and the way additive manufacturing is changing production. The technology has infiltrated many sectors, from medical to automotive – check our selection of the week to keep up with the innovations! If you enjoy these, you can view even more 3D printing videos on our Youtube channel. Hope you’ll enjoy and have a great Sunday!
Top 1: Porsche 3D prints pistons
For the first time, the pistons for the high-performance engine of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS are being produced using additive manufacturing! 3D printing allows the pistons to be fabricated with a structure that is optimized for the loads acting on them. As a result, the new pistons are ten percent lighter and have a higher stiffness than the traditionally manufactured ones.
Top 2: Superstrata 3D printed unibody bike
Arevo and Superstrata have just unveiled new 3D printed unibody bicycles, unique in both the design and properties. By using carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics, Superstrata can boast being extremely impact-resistant and lightweight – according to the company, one bike weighs less than 2 water bottles or 1,3 kg. Furthermore, Directed Energy Deposition (DED) 3D printing technology also enables a perfect customization. Each frame can be custom produced to fit the individual’s body type.
