hey Pete hey Steph, there are 2 new AM parts (that both definitely qualify as "super cool") that you guys should look into doing videos on (if you're not planning to already). since i see you guys are willing to travel, like when you guys travelled to one of my fave towns for Motorsports and Racing Engineering (ref: Indianapolis for Dallara) be advised 2 of the biggest names in Automotive sector (none bigger) are using 3D printed suspension components on the latest versions of their Multi-Million dollar Hypercars coming in 2025... yeah, Ferrari on their new F80 (799 units) is using 3D printed Aluminum on 1 of their rear suspension components (2 in total), and McLaren on their new W1 (399 units) is using 3D Printed Titanium on no less than 3 of their front suspension components (6 in total). Ferrari apparently has their own in-house capability...? (not 100% sure on that so you'll have to check that out) while McLaren apparently worked with a US Company named Divergent. either way, one sounds like a nice "road trip" to Modena Italy and the other sounds like a nice "road trip" to Woking/Surrey England to "get the scoop". thank you. 👍
There's zero chance that the BWM console used to take longer than three hours and forty minutes to make; the entire chassis of the car is stamped and welded faster than that. AM is cool, but not magic.
To say that anything 3D printed contains Carbon Fiber is disingenuous and misleading at best. It's physically impossible to get the long continuous strands of fiber due to how the printers function, thus totally negating the primary benefit of CF.
@@donr62 That's is a printer with a dedicated 2nd nozzle for laying the CF strand and also requires specific CAD design to accommodate the space for that infilled strand. - My complaint is against companies selling CF impregnated polymer for a traditional 3D process like most do. - Which is the company in this video utilizing exactly?
I agree, but to my knowledge, injection moulding cannot create parts with an appreciable length of cf strands either. As an alternative, AM would therefore be equivalent.
Thank you for your amazing work !
just found out there's a channel like this. good job!
Glad you found us! We're thrilled to have you along for the ride.
Can't wait for the live !
Another amazing episode covering the exact 3d printing content I ❤ Thank you!!!
Thank you

Ah yes, Krauss Maffei, the well known "car" manufacturer.

Metal casting are almost dead through this new tech. It´s way more expensive and difficult to achieve good resutls.
