How Volkswagen Used 3D Printing and Electroplating to Create Metal Hubcaps

Volkswagen’s “Type 20” concept vehicle is a modern reimagining of a classic VW microbus from 1962, and a showpiece for the automaker’s next-generation technologies. VW’s designers worked with Autodesk to create several generatively-designed structural components, including a set of highly expressive cast-aluminum wheels. Those wheels needed hubcaps that drew on VW’s iconic styling while still fitting properly among the organic forms of the spokes. The solution: print the hubcaps on a Formlabs desktop SLA 3D Read more…
