Ultralightweight construction

In 3D printing, ultralightweight construction refers to the technique of reducing weight through targeted design and material selection. The additive manufacturing process can be used to produce complex geometric structures such as grids or honeycombs. These structures significantly reduce the weight of a component while maintaining the necessary strength and stability.

3D printing also enables the use of a variety of materials, including high-strength plastics and composites, which are specially selected for an optimized weight-to-strength ratio. This technique is used in sectors such as the automotive and aerospace industries, where weight is critical to performance and efficiency.

By using 3D printing in ultra-lightweight construction, companies can develop innovative, high-performance and resource-saving products.
