I thought the same...STOOOOP haha you got me right there...Probaply not too popular because metal 3d printing is quite expensive and too "new". Not relatable for home tinkering or Generative Design fans. Youre target group are prob. engineers working with metal 3d printing and cutting edge CAD CAM software...
A fascinating video on a really challenging application - after 20 odd years, to see functional 'mass market' manufactured parts of a 3D printer is extremely exciting
This makes me wonder if alloy-blend gradients are possible to further enhance performance and weight when blended functionality is preferred for a single part.
Very cool. Seems like this material would also be well suited to brake calipers, allowing less material/lower weight because of higher stiffness than aluminum alloys.
Looks like the additive manufacturing industry needs to build bigger machines so not only you could comfortably do one of these print jobs but you could also do 4 of them in one job with a single printer which allows companies like Ford or GM to offer this as a reasonable option which would drive further demand for such 3d printing technology.
Did any of the car guys in your network tough about making a car turbo casing with the coolant channel and diffusor winglet integrated to make a multi-stage centrifugal compressor mounted on the same shaft? leehamnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/T62-compressor-960x564.png
How are you guys not more popular? This is great information with excellent delivery.

We could not agree more!
This is such a cool application! AM brings a whole new world to engineers to design better parts. Thanks for posting.
Fantastic! Thanks Peter and Stephanie for these great shows. Keep them coming!
Wow, awesome 'brake-down' of the item in question guys.😉👍

That looks great for trucks and airplanes. I hope they increase model types. Maybe they can print 2 or 4 units per print. For cars. Etc...
Very cool.

Break dust are from the pads mostly not the rotors. Wonder what the price would be.
That's a large brake rotor. That advantage with additive manufacturing is you can make cooling tunnels to assist with heat dissipation.

I want this on my project carrrr
A brake rotor like that would be 10 times the price.
If you're dropping 600 large on a Vanquish you won't mind that.
People pay 10k for carbon ceramics
