Facts & figures about the example part

Conventional component

Material: Aluminum

Weight: 168 g

Max. load: 8.9 MPa

Component optimised for 3D printing

Material: AlSi10Mg

Layer thickness: 30 µm

Weight: 72.9 g

Max. load: 6.15 MPa

Component from: Tesat-Spacecom GmbH & Co.KG

AM optimised by: AMendate

The design of the component has been optimised to provide a second level for mounting additional equipment, taking into account the available space. This means that the load capacity can be used more flexibly.
