The 3D printing process plays a crucial role in producing the intricate components of the omni mecanum wheels, including the 48 small wheels and 96 wedges that ensure the wheels maintain their ...

The second half of the process is 3D printing the wheels to which the tires will be attached. These will be much smaller than the original 3D printed component, and fit inside of the silicone mold.

With Titanium 3D-printing having gained traction recently, the time has now come for the aftermarket wheel realm to embrace the technology. So while the said fabrication method has been used in ...

HRE presented the world’s first 3D-printed titanium wheel in collaboration with GE Additive, and it is a sight to behold. The new prototype wheel, known as the ‘HRE3D+’, reveals how new ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with NASA, are taking additive manufacturing to the final frontier by 3D printing the same kind of wheel ...

As such, Ford has come up with a novel way of using 3D printing to keep your alloys safe. Engineers at the automaker have designed locking nuts with unique contours based on the driver's voice.

HRE Wheels is mostly known for its custom monoblock alloy wheels, but now, the company has teamed up with GE Additive to create a 3D-printed titanium prototype wheel.

If NASA testing proves the 3D-printed prototype to be as robust as conventionally built wheels, future rovers could instead use a single printed wheel rim, which took ORNL 40 hours to manufacture.
