01:19 Porsche partners with SLM
To 3D print a new E-drive component for a front axle. It's basically a housing that holds the electronics, transmission and electric motor. They designed a proof of concept for a topology optimized part and printed it using SLM’s 12-laser machine in 21 hours. https://3dprint.com/276838/laser-wars...

02:25 CT5-V from Cadillac
Featuring a manual transmission -- made possible by 3D Printing! Now, while we haven't found many details, according to Cadillac they essentially cut costs and waste by using 3D printing to develop a gearbox that's "quieter" and "more durable," The shifter stick also gets a nifty 3D-printed medallion on top. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/12/10/c...
