BMW, GM invest in 3D printing tech for sand casting to maximise production efficiency

[Redaktion]

GM has recently announced the acquisition of TEI, a major player in developing the gigacasting technology used by Tesla, whereby large structural components can be cast in a single piece instead of being assembled from hundreds of smaller ones. Around the same time, BMW has also partnered with Loramendi and voxeljet to automate the large-scale 3D printing of sand cores for casting cylinder heads at its Landshut plant.
