3D-printed supercar? The Divergent Blade is packing a 700hp Evo motor, and as the HP explains, everything else is basically aluminum or carbon... As 3D printing becomes more common, I think we'll see more and more of these kind of creations. You can check out the video below. What do you think of this baby? |
This production method is ideally suited for small numbers of pieces or rapid prototyping. EADS used DMLS 3D printing to build an optimized design of Airbus A320 nacelle hinge brackets. They lightened the part by 35-55%, while maintaining its strength and performance. This will save 10 kg off the entire aircraft weight. Removing only 1 kg from each aircraft of a 600+ fleet of commercial aircrafts could save about 90,000 liters of fuel annually, cutting down on fuel bills (in 2013, fuel typically absorbed 35% of an airline’s annual revenues). It also avoids the emission of 230 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, a significant environmental gain. https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/...ndustry-49823/ https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.tea...3cf8268588.jpghttps://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.tea...f8800a930a.jpg https://www.eos.info/eos_airbusgroup...nability_study |

It's a trend-setting technology, very interesting. http://www.additivemanufacturing.med...space-Part.pdf |
