Transmission housings for large ships are always unique, which is why they require expensive customized molds. This is not the case with 3D printing, which offers even more advantages: it allows the weight of the customized parts to be reduced while saving material, since the printing process also makes other designs possible. Cavities or honeycomb structures can, for example, be incorporated.
