The optimised topology of the housing reduces the e-drive's overall weight by 10 per cent. (Image: Porsche)
The e-drive unit measures 590 x 560 x 367mm and was built in 21 hours using SLM Solution's NXG XII 600
The material was ‘printed’ into joint lanes, which is the first step towards 3D-printing buildings, landing points, and roads on the moon
The patents cover material processing with visible Raman lasers, in addition to the technology required to build these single mode visible lasers
Manufacturing Show 2021 revolves around low and large scale production methods, exploring opportunities for various technologies to work together and improve global manufacturing. Explore market innovations and products, learn new and exciting ways to bring production to the next level, and expand your partner network.
