Eurecat

Eurecat

This project focuses on the additive manufacturing of replacement aluminum parts for automotive applications, aimed at enhancing the aftermarket industry.

In collaboration with Eurecat and SEAT within the framework of the Joint Research Unit, the initiative explores innovative solutions for producing high-quality replacement parts. RMIT is responsible for 3D printing components using both a standard alloy and a novel, custom-developed alloy. Eurecat will handle the testing and analysis of the printed parts to assess their performance and suitability for real-world automotive applications. The goal is to develop advanced manufacturing techniques and materials to meet the growing demands of the automotive replacement parts market.
