Advancing towards further lightweighting of components with lightweight materials and 3D printing <Zoom Online Seminar> - Dramatic weight reduction of automotive, aerospace, and other components through the combination of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and aluminum with complex shape integrated/lattice structures, as well as the utilization of topology optimization.
In the automotive and aerospace industries, efforts are rapidly advancing in material development and manufacturing technology aimed at further weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. This seminar will provide an easy-to-understand explanation for beginners about the trends in new material development at advanced companies that are energetically working towards ultra-lightweight solutions using lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, and ceramics, as well as complex shapes and integrated structures that are impossible with conventional processing methods and technologies, including 3D printing, lattice/honeycomb structure fabrication, porous structure fabrication, and 3D printing utilizing topology optimization. The lightweighting of parts that can significantly differentiate from conventional and competitor components is an urgent and critical issue, with intense technological development competition unfolding both domestically and internationally. 3D printing, which is seen as the next-generation manufacturing method for parts, offers a completely new perspective on additive manufacturing (AM) technology, enabling the creation of innovative and attractive lightweight components that are difficult to achieve with traditional processing methods and technologies, as well as realizing short-term, low-cost, and high-quality fabrication. Development cannot be expected to progress along the lines of existing technologies. By integrating lightweight materials with 3D printing and utilizing topology optimization, we can achieve astonishing weight reduction in parts.
