Nice video showing part consolidation. If all those mounts for steering, suspension & motor had to be machined & bolted together, youd be looking at dozens of parts (when you include fasteners)
We are so proud to have been given the opportunity to work on this project. What a sight to see our designs come to life, a wonderful feeling for our student engineers. #OBR20 #RaceElectric
It looks like that model had the curvature accuracy/tolerance set too low when exported from the software it was made in. You can see all the polygons on the cylindrical features
What do you do about the surface finish? Vibratory tumbling? Electropolishing? And it is nice to see you take safety serious with the PAPR and Tyvek suit, but you did not when removing the support and there was still a lot of metal powder left on the part in that stage.
Thanks for the comment! Critical areas where a specific surface finish is required were going to be machined. The remainder of the surface was to remain as built as for this prototype. If it were to go into production then certainly vibratory tumbling could be used. During the support removal the operator is wearing a blue flame retardant Nomex suit with full RPE in a support extraction cabinet which aims to suck small powder particles from the support removal process

Great video with real insights. Very rare for these kind of corporate videos. Thank you!
Just wanted to send a shout-out to the presenter and the team that put this together. Very nice work on the video.
Thanks Alex!
What a great video! I don't think I've ever seen such a stacked presenter! Keep up the good work.
Great video! Just wanted to ask what are the differences in terms of robustness and durability compared to a normal press metal/CNC machined part?

Loving the earth tape fix on a million pound machine🤣 space age is still like real life
Keep up the videos 🙌🏾

Got an update? Assuming a year later they have refined the process
Fantastic
What's the material u have printed??
The material used here is Ti6Al4V
if you want I'd be okay with you sending me one of those printers for a free review
The finish is ugly
