Application Cases
Thrust Chamber
Designed to withstand extreme thermal loads in rocket propulsion using integrated cooling channels.
Core Advantages
- Material: CuCrZr
- Industry: Aerospace
- Core Design: Features complex conformal cooling channels printed directly within the thin walls of the chamber liner, impossible to achieve via traditional machining.
- Thermal Management: Utilizes the high thermal conductivity of copper alloys to rapidly transfer heat from the combustion zone to the fuel flowing through the channels (regenerative cooling).
- Efficiency: Maximizes heat exchange surface area while reducing part count from dozens of brazed tubes to a single monolithic component.
IGBT Heat Sink
Designed for IGBT power modules in EVs or industrial controls, breaking the limits of traditional cold-forged pin fins.
Core Advantages
- Industry: Automotive & EV
- Background: Traditional Pin Fin technology has hit a thermal bottleneck.
- Micro‑structure Design: Bottom features Irregular concave and convex textures. Surface covered with Conical columns with spiral micro‑structures, impossible with cold forging. Added Horizontal square strips for turbulence induction.
- Results: Thermal efficiency improved by 30%‑40% within the same installation space.
Integrated Heat Exchanger
Designed for high-efficiency EV battery & motor cooling, eliminating assembly risks.
Core Advantages
- Material: AlSi10Mg or Pure Copper
- Industry: Automotive & EV
- Core Design: Utilizes TPMS (Triply Periodic Minimal Surface) to maximize the heat transfer surface area within a confined space, far exceeding traditional fin capabilities.
- Thermal Dynamics: The complex internal channels create turbulent flow, which breaks the thermal boundary layer and significantly enhances the heat rejection rate for battery packs.
- Integrated Design: Consolidates multiple stamped parts and seals into a single monolithic unit, ensuring safety for high‑voltage systems.
Transmission & Gearbox Components
Lightweight housings featuring integrated complex oil circuits for superior lubrication.
Core Advantages
- Material: AlSi10Mg or Pure Copper
- Industry: Automotive & EV
- Core Design: Embeds conformal oil passages directly inside the housing walls. These curved channels guide oil smoothly around corners, impossible to achieve with straight‑line drilling.
- Weight Reduction: Applies topology optimization to remove material from non‑load‑bearing areas, reducing housing weight while maintaining structural stiffness.
- Performance: Improves lubrication efficiency by optimizing flow paths to critical gears and bearings, reducing pressure drop and pump energy consumption.
Brake Calipers
Extreme lightweighting for unsprung mass reduction in racing.
Core Advantages
- Material: Ti6Al4V or AlSi10Mg
- Industry: Racing
- Core Design: Uses bionic topology optimization to remove all excess material while maintaining maximum stiffness against caliper expansion.
- Fluid Dynamics: Integrates internal hydraulic fluid channels directly into the caliper body, eliminating external piping and potential damage points.
- Performance: Improves braking response and cooling (via air ducts printed into the structure) while reducing wheel assembly weight.
Topology-Optimized Frame Nodes
Customized structural nodes (Head Tubes, Dropouts) for bespoke bicycle frames.
Core Advantages
- Material: Ti6Al4V or AlSi10Mg
- Industry: Cycling & Micromobility
- Core Design: Generates material distribution based strictly on load paths.
- Customization: Allows for adjustments in geometry (angles, dimensions) without the need for expensive molds, enabling perfect rider fit.
- Workflow: Simplifies frame building by providing precise "lugs" that connect standard tubes, reducing welding distortion.
