I was reading an article in an Auto-Sport Magazine yesterday and was surprised on how far this 3D Printing Technology has moved on. I am sure some members may even have Home 3D Printers but what is being used here by “Mahle” is the Technique to produce Pistons for the Porsche GT2 RS. Hopefully this might be of interest on how these Pistons are produced - Dave 🙏

“3D printing technology is already used at the sports car manufacturer in prototype construction, manufacturing spare parts for classic sports cars as well as in other areas. For the first time, the pistons for the high-performance engine of the 911 flagship model, the GT2 RS, are now being produced with a 3D printer.”
