Examples of Manufactured Products
Cylinder head (miniature)
2.5 mm square, 0.5 mm thick lattice structure embedded
Although strength is neglected, if specifications can be shared, it is possible to reduce the weight other than where strength is required.
Suspension arm
Lattice structure embedding of 2.5 mm square and 0.5 mm thick (image model)
-
High rigidity type
The parts that are not necessary for strength are made into a structure, so that the shape maintains strength.
-
Weight-saving type
Since this model also specializes in weight reduction, strength is ignored.
RR WING (miniature)
5.0 mm square, 0.5 mm thick lattice structure
-
Modeling as it is
-
Blade section thinning and internal lattice structuring
Because the base parts are extruded aluminum, the figures for weight reduction are low, but there is still room for weight reduction.
Spiral cooling shape
Wall thickness 1.5 mm inner diameter φ8 + drop shape
Enables highly efficient cooling with a thin water-cooled cooling path. Proposal of a shape that models the internal path without support material.
Free shapes that match the mating parts are also possible.
Heat exchanger model
Free designing is possible. Please consult in any form.
Polyhedral, simultaneous cooling can be realized.
