Well Porsche have also been having a bit of delve....
Regards NeilELECTREK:Porsche is 3D printing electric drive housings that are lighter and stronger than conventional ones
In December, Porsche announced that it had been 3D printing prototype housings for electric drives that were stronger, lighter, and much quicker to manufacture. The engine-gearbox units produced using this method were even able to pass all of the company’s quality and stress tests without issue.
