Components for classic cars out of a modern 3D-printer? 🤔
RPG Industries, Inc. is always looking for ways to stay cutting edge in a saturated industry. The team decided to bring in a Markforged Metal X system and a Mark Two professional-series 3D printer, which they have used for a wide range of applications.
With additive manufacturing, they were able to print a vintage carburetor cap, which could not be sourced anywhere in the world. They first prototyped it using Onyx and then printed the final part out of 17-4 PH Stainless Steel.
