Porsche to offer new 3D-printed parts

Posted on Updated on

According to Porsche and
Autoblog.com ,” it will use 3D printing for parts when supplies are either low or completely gone. Parts are reproduced using the original tooling. When those tools are available, new ones are sometimes created. For models like the 959, creating all-new tooling is cost prohibitive and inefficient, leading to the 3D-printing process”.

According to Ford, it is “using 3D printing in the manufacturing world, bridging the gap between abstract and practical.” The company is “fully invested in the latest commercial 3D printing innovations.”
Pricing for the 2018 Ford Shelby Super Snake starts at $113,445, including the donor Mustang.
2019 Shelby GT500 Top Speed is Over 200 MPH. The S197 generation of the Ford Mustang in Shelby GT500 form could top 202 miles per hour (325 km/h) at the Nardo test track in Italy.

The Super Snake, available with an automatic or manual transmission, begins as a Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V-8, but a supercharger and tuning kick it up to a claimed 670 horsepower. Pay extra for a Whipple or Kenne Bell supercharger, and Shelby claims the engine will generate up to 750 horsepower.
