Hydraulic Accumulator Manufactured from Titanium Printing

To enhance the performance of its car, the BWT Alpine F1 Team embraced metal additive manufacturing, creating a compact yet fully functional titanium hydraulic accumulator. After years of collaborative partnership and development with 3D Systems, the team chose 3D Systems' direct metal printing (DMP) technology for the production of this intricate component. They also depended on 3D Systems' specialized expertise and proprietary cleaning methods to ensure impeccable quality.

          The professionals within 3D Systems' Application Innovation Group (AIG) imparted their expertise to the BWT Alpine F1 Team, enabling the creation of an intricate coiled titanium component featuring a demanding internal geometry that serves specific functions. Additive manufacturing presents a distinctive advantage in addressing rapid innovation demands, as it can deliver highly intricate components within tight timeframes.
