3D-printing of cheaper, lighter metal car parts made viable by Fraunhofer researchers

[Redaktion]

Researchers from Fraunhofer IAPT, one of the leading additive manufacturing process science institutions, have managed to make 3D-printing of car parts in large quantities a viable alternative to traditional methods. A step-by-step optimization process resulted in a car door hinge that is lighter and cheaper than its milled counterpart.
