Materialise and Alugear have developed a 3D-printed titanium crankset weighing just 345g, marking a 50 percent weight reduction compared to conventional CNC-machined parts. By utilizing metal AM and Magics simulation to ensure post-machining precision, the Stellar Ti assembly successfully passed 100,000 fatigue cycles under ISO 4210 testing. This partnership represents a systemic move toward cost-effective, industrial-scale repeatability for high-stress sports components. The result is a consolidated, hollow-body design that eliminates assembly faults while maximizing performance for mass production. 🚲 #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #Titanium #Cycling #Engineering
