Sustainable mobility and motorsports

The automotive industry is going through an important development phase to address major issues concerning users as well as the environment. One of the biggest challenges for future mobility is to reduce the weight of automobiles to reduce energy consumption. In motorsports, AFT is a great fit to make carbon composite door hinges, structural brackets, racing mirror mounts or even spoiler legs and aero winglets. Lightweighting vehicles also has another positive impact: it decreases the tyre degradation while increasing the vehicle dynamics.

Metal substitution for weight reduction: our automotive bracket for higher performing cars

The starting position was an existing series production automotive bracket. We developed a high-performance metal alloy substitution with additive manufactured industry-grade composite material using continuous carbon fiber and PA12.

The engine torque bracket sustains high repeated mechanical loads over lifetime. This lightweight but extremely durable part was manufactured in collaboration with Setforge, Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology, using 9T Labs Additive Fusion Technology and the EPITHER process.

The perfect metal substitute

Our AFT made carbon parts have ideal material properties. Not only were we able to cut down on the entire production costs, but we also succeeded in lowering the part weight by astonishing 67%.
