Discover Product Innovation Through Lightweighting with Additive Manufacturing
Lightweighting is a design methodology that allows engineers to redesign parts to reduce a part's weight while maintaining (and sometimes improving) the part's performance.
As more companies introduce Additive Manufacturing into their workflow, opportunities arise to reduce production costs and improve part performance:
- Parts manufactured from expensive chemical or heat-resistant powders benefit from lower material and part production cost
- Parts intended for space, air or road travel, lighter weight parts lead to an increase in fuel economy which can reduce costs significantly over the lifetime of the part
- Lightweighting robot end effectors can reduce the cost of running these machines in a production environment and possibly reduce the size of the required robot arm
In this insightful webinar, you'll gain a clear understanding of how lightweighting innovations are achieved using advanced digital engineering and additive manufacturing.
Through real-world examples, we'll showcase how these methodologies can impact production costs and part performance across key industries.

- Date: Thursday, 13th of February
- Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm
Key Topics Covered:
- How Additive Manufacturing has transformed what can be achieved through lightweighting
- Details of advanced lightweighting techniques such as part amalgamation and topological optimisation
- Industry case studies that demonstrate how these techniques directly affected the cost and performance of their lightweighted parts.
This webinar is tailored for:
-
Key decision-makers in manufacturing and engineering companies.
-
R&D Managers looking to optimise product development.
-
Engineers interested in lightweighting strategies using AM.
If you are working in an industry where part weight is a critical factor then this webinar is a must-see.
