Brake calliper

Automotive TruPrint Aluminium Additive Manufacturing

The brake calliper is a component in vehicles that is directly relevant to safety, therefore quality is an important factor. The 3D-printed part is comparable to conventionally manufactured components and even performs better in some stress tests.
