SLM Solutions, a German provider of metal additive manufacturing systems, has released more information about working withBugatti, the French manufacturer of high-performance automobiles. The new information shows how 3D printing is used to develop critical components.
去年，合作伙伴创建了一个3D打印制动卡钳对于布加迪·凯龙（Bugatti Chiron）。最近该组件进行了testing for serial production。
Now, SLM Solutions has presented further details on other metal 3D printed functional components from Bugatti; these include a 3D printed spoiler and motor brackets as well as cylinder head covers and front axle differentials.
A 3D printed brake – through
布加迪的3D打印钛制动卡钳是在SLM 500 3D打印机。Upon testing, Frank Götzke, Head of New Technologies at Bugatti, said “the caliper showed a tensile strength of 1,250 N/mm2和a material density over 99.7%.”
Götzke补充说，结果表明，添加性产生的金属组件可以在超过375 km/h的速度下应对极高的强度，刚度和温度需求，并且制动盘温度最高为1,100°C。
轻巧的超级跑车
在3D打印卡钳成功之后，布加迪现在使用SLM添加剂制造来轻巧且美观地令人愉悦。雷电竞充值Götzke补充说：“我们始终努力实现绝对的完美，风格和技术以及考虑这两个元素的完美协同作用。”
An example active titanium spoiler bracket was manufactured on the SLM 500 in collaboration withFraunhofer IAPT。据说这种扰流板可以增强布加迪车辆的空气动力学设计。
Bugatti teamed up withSiemens，欧洲最大的工业制造公司，以优化生产支架以及3D打印的小型电机支架 - 旨在支持发动机和变速箱组件的零件。自从第一个布加迪·凯龙（Bugatti Chiron）运送到法国生产设施以来，马达支架已安装在所有布加迪系列车辆中。
据报道，使雷电竞充值用增材制造，扰流板支架的重量减少了5.4公斤，比原始人降低了53％，刚性增加。此外，现已将3D打印的电动机支架与水冷却行为集成在一起，可大大降低汽车发动机的热量。
Driving the automotive sector
布加迪和SLM解决方案之间的合作伙伴关系始于2014年，随着3D打印的前轴差速器的开发SLM 280。This component distributes power from a vehicle’s transmission while enabling the wheels to rotate.
Additionally, at Formnext 2018, the partners showcased eight Bugatti W16 cylinder head covers built on theSLM 800。Each hood measures 285mm wide and 65mm thick with a height of 735mm. Both companies are continuing to apply metal additive manufacturing to automotive end-use parts.
