Defying manufacturing conventions using additive manufacturing (3D printing) (mp4)

Renishaw's AM 250 additive manufacturing system has been used by customer, I3D Concept, to produce a component for a Moto2™ motorcycle’s unique suspension system. The component, additively manufactured in Titanium, is an example of effective part consolidation. Previously composed of several machined and welded aluminium parts, it has now been consolidated into one single component. This topological optimisation resulted in a weight saving of approximately 40%. You can find out more about this application by visiting: www.renishaw.com/transfiormers
