HOT NEWS  !!!!  Bugatti Develops World’s Largest Titanium Brake Caliper - As 3D printing in the automotive industry gradually makes the move from rapid prototyping applications to final phase production, Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S is the latest company to take advantage of what the technology has to offer. The French luxury manufacturer, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, has reached a significant milestone with the development of the world’s first 3D printed brake calliper. Bugatti has been collaborating with German 3D printing company Laser Zentrum Nord since the start of the year on the new titanium component, and vehicle trials for series production should start sometime in the next few months.The new 3D printed brake calipers were made for the Bugatti Chiron, a high-end sports vehicle which is already known in part for having the most powerful brakes in the world. The Bugatti Chiron also uses an quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre W16 engine, and the £2.5 million luxury vehicle can hit an impressive 62mph in 2.5 seconds, eventually reaching a top speed of 261mph. At the 67th annual IAA show in Frankfurt last year, the car broke a world record by going from a standing start to 400 km/h in just 42 seconds

Building on these previous successes, advanced 3D printing techniques were chosen for production of the new Chiron’s latest brake caliper model, in an effort to reduce weight from the previous structure. Titanium was used as opposed to aluminium, and the parts will be the largest brake calipers installed on a production vehicle, with eight titanium pistons on each of the front calipers and six on each of the rear units.
