A Formula 1 car, traveling at 300 km/h on the race track, has a cooling system in 3D printed air ducts keeping the engine at optimal temperature. In a passenger aircraft engine, a topology-optimized titanium fuel nozzle is 60% lighter than the traditional part but with the same strength. A luxury car's interior panel, printed in one piece with a custom pattern chosen by the customer.

You can now do basic 3D modeling, design and print simple parts. But something seems missing: Your parts are heavy, there's material waste, strength isn't optimal. Traditional design methods don't unlock the true potential of 3D printing.
