US car manufacturer General Motors recently announced a
The new technique has already been used in a pilot project, to design a seat bracket with fastening device for the seat belt. The software produced more than 150 valid design options based on parameters set by GM’s engineers, who in this case zeroed in on the design of a 40% lighter and 20% stronger component than the original part. As a next step, the car manufacturer wants to develop further, optimized components and to subsequently produce them in cost-saving, additive mass production processes. Volvo too is focusing heavily on 3D printing: The Swedes are exploiting the efficient processes in particular to
