Wow. 3d printing is the future! Will make manufacturing far more efficient.
Wonder what materials you can 3d print in, metals/carbon fibre?
I expect the F1 teams have the latest tech on this, to make the complex front wings its a must I would think
Plenty of metals can be 3d printed, Atherton bikes are using 3d titanium printing for lugs combined with carbon tubes. Really very cool tech, if I had a workshop/tool room I'd be looking at a printer just for cool fun.Wonder what materials you can 3d print in, metals/carbon fibre?

latest tech on this is aerospace and defence Wonder what materials you can 3d print in, metals/carbon fibre?

metal is relatively easy nowadays

Front wings are still carbon layup. Not really ideal for 3D printing.Wonder what materials you can 3d print in, metals/carbon fibre?

3d printing is great for low volume parts and prototyping (which is low volume by definition) but for volume production it'll be long time (if ever) before printing can beat moulding/casting/stamping etc.

Hi Mate ,
Seems amazing !
Where are from your pillar seal ?
I’m looking to change mine .
Thanks

That’s irritating, the slk seats don’t look that deep a bolster either.
Is it worth a fitting with the original seats?
Lack of height adjustment ment that was a non starter, the problems of a 4'11" partnerIs it worth a fitting with the original seats?
Appreciate the height issue re the change; the seats in my old S2 were fine in a trip from Norfolk to Normandy, then the Ypres Lotus day and back again.
However, going from Norfolk to Nottingham and back in a day in Mrs L's R171 SLK gave us both backache.
