News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing
In 2019, PIX turned to WAAM (wire arc additive manufacturing), then an emerging AM technology that used a combination of an electric arc as heat source and a metal wire as feedstock. The result chassis was much lighter and easier to produce, thus reducing costs for PIX, whose goal is to provide cities with sustainable autonomous mobility.
