RAPID + TCT: The Next Level of Automotive Manufacturing
Lightweighting and Material Efficiency: Additive manufacturing facilitates the production of lightweight components using advanced materials, such as composites and high-performance alloys. By optimizing material usage and eliminating excess material, AM can significantly reduce the weight of automotive parts without compromising structural integrity or performance. Lightweighting contributes to fuel efficiency, range extension for electric vehicles, and overall vehicle performance, while also reducing environmental impact.
