[AM Use Case] Lightweighting of Vehicle Components
Introducing examples that enhance added value such as "weight reduction," "rigidity maintenance," and "assembly"!
We would like to introduce a case study on the use of additive manufacturing (AM) for lightweighting vehicle components. The change lever bracket targeted in this case focused on maximizing impact while enhancing added value in terms of "lightweighting," "maintaining rigidity," and "assembly" as part of the goal of optimizing the component. As a result, we successfully achieved approximately 30% weight reduction, with rigidity tests showing values twice the standard, and we were able to demonstrate 1.5 times the strength compared to the current product (die-cast type). 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Component: Change Lever Bracket ■ Material: Aluminum ■ Weight: 0.5kg ■ Challenge: Lightweighting of the component *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
