Traditional Manufacturing
1. Inability to optimize topology resulting in increased
weight of component
2.Requirement of multiple parts for various
functionalities, limiting enhancement in component
performance.
3.Increased work steps causing higher labor costs.
K 45-286
Additive Manufacturing
1. Optimized topology & functional integration enabled
weight reduction of ~10%.
2.The use of lattice structures in the design resulted in
rigidity increasing by 100%.
3.Installation work reduced by around 40 work steps.
