How Massivit 3D is Overcoming the Bottlenecks of Composite Tooling

How Massivit 3D is Overcoming the Bottlenecks of Composite Tooling

Massivit 3D’s in-depth knowledge of large-scale additive manufacturing has evolved over the years. Many, for instance, will know of how its 3D printers are used to produce large-scale objects—including the DB Project full-scale concept car—for marketing and entertainment purposes. But its technology is also capable of much more. Its newest machine, the Massivit 10000, is built for tooling applications in the automotive, railway, marine, energy and other industries. More specifically, the Massivit 10000 seeks to reinvent how large-scale fiber-reinforced composite parts are fabricated.

Voxeljet Develops New Cooling System for Ethec City Electric Motorcycle

Voxeljet Develops New Cooling System for Ethec City Electric Motorcycle

A novel cooling system in the Ethec City electric motorcycle ensures a longer service life for the battery cells. In order to introduce the students to manufacturing processes that can be used for series production outside of prototype manufacturing, voxeljet produced the mold for the innovative battery housing of the prototype using the binder jetting process. A student focus project at ETH Zurich is realizing prototypes of a new type of cooling system with support from voxeljet.
