In pursuit of lightweight components, technology development using lightweight materials and 3D additive manufacturing is progressing. <Zoom Online Seminar> - A detailed explanation of the trends in the development of lightweight materials aimed at reducing weight in automotive, aerospace, and other components, as well as lightweight manufacturing techniques using 3D printers that utilize complex shape integrated manufacturing, lattice manufacturing, and topology optimization, along with manufacturing case studies.

In aerospace, automotive, and other fields, rapid advancements in material development and manufacturing technology are being made to achieve further weight reduction aimed at improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This seminar will provide an easy-to-understand explanation for beginners about the development trends of new materials and various lightweight technologies, including additive manufacturing (AM) and manufacturing techniques, as well as product case studies from advanced companies energetically working towards ultra-lightweight solutions using lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, magnesium, and aluminum. We will discuss complex shapes and integrated structures that are impossible with conventional processing methods, as well as lattice/honeycomb structures, porous structures, and topology optimization through 3D printing, incorporating both success and failure stories.
A recent topic of interest is magnesium alloys, which require caution for practical use due to their flammability. However, Tobata Seisakusho has newly developed a flame-retardant magnesium alloy and is currently working on layered manufacturing using metal 3D printers. We will introduce a case study of a prototype created with a lattice structure.
Lightweighting of components, which is gaining attention as a next-generation candidate that can significantly differentiate itself from conventional and competitor parts, is an urgent and critical issue, with intense technological development competition occurring both domestically and internationally. Development along the lines of existing technologies is not expected. We encourage you to take on the challenge.
