BLT provided metal 3D-printed body parts and brake calipers for BYD’s Yangwang U9, enabling it to shatter the world speed record at 496.22 km/h. 🏎️ This milestone proves LPBF technology is ready for mission-critical components where extreme thermal and mechanical loads are the norm. Topology-optimized parts significantly reduced unsprung mass, ensuring stability at record velocities. This validates AM as a core requirement for next-generation EV performance. 🚀 #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #EV #BLT
