To fulfill its function with consistency, the p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art<\/a> must be incredibly strong and resistant to wear. For this reason and others, the crankshaft\u2019s design has been mostly unchanged over the years, undergoing little design alterations until now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/ny6Rzu.jpg\">  Hirosumi Todaka,<br \/>\n<span><a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/mechanics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mechanic<\/a>al and fluid machinery designer at Honda R&amp;D<\/span>   <\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cCrankshafts need to satisfy multiple functional criteria,\u201d explained Hirosumi Todaka, a <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/mechanics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mechanic<\/a>al and fluid machinery designer at Honda R&amp;D. \u201cFor example, its shape must be able to withstand combustion pressures, and the rotational balance must be maintained. These factors have dictated the crankshaft\u2019s form to this day. Over the long history of engine development, the crankshaft design had become a foregone conclusion. Despite this, we set the challenging goal of designing a crankshaft to be 30% lighter than current models.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Honda has long known the benefits of using additive manufacturing and intelligent design for optimizing <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">automotive<\/a> components. To date, the company has used the technologies to update a range of components, including seatbelt brackets, engine control units and motorcycle frames. In all these examples, Honda managed to achieve significant weight reductions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In this most recent endeavor, Honda sought to apply similar principles it had used for these components to the crankshaft. \u201cA new approach was required that used methods like generative design and additive manufacturing,\u201d Todaka added. \u201cWe had to cast off preconceived notions and look at things in a new light.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"    background-color: #eaeaea7a;    padding: 15px 30px;    overflow-wrap: break-word;    display: flex;    align-items: center;    border-radius: 4px;    box-shadow: -1px 4px 20px 0px #dedede;    margin-top: 1em;    margin-bottom: 1em;\">\n<div style=\"    flex: 1;    padding-right: 30px;\">\n<h4 style=\"    margin-bottom: 14px;\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div style=\"    display: block;\">Have design to produce?

Like many generatively designed models, the updated crankshaft had an organic structure\u2014much unlike its conventional counterp<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art<\/a>. According to Todaka, the 3D model was beyond his wildest imagination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With the first-lot model showing promise, Honda sent a team to the Autodesk Technology Center in England to receive generative design training and explore AM opportunities. Importantly, the work conducted at Autodesk\u2019s facility enabled the p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">art<\/a>ners to evaluate <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D print<\/a>ed prototypes and fine-tune the crankshaft design even further based on new boundary conditions. Ultimately, a second-lot model was developed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/EFNJZj.jpg\">  <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D print<\/a>ed metal prototype of crankshaft   <\/p>\n<p><span>The resulting component, which was unlike anything the Honda R&amp;D team would have come up with using traditional processes, demonstrated a weight reduction of 50%.
