Car manufacturer GM ( GM ) is partnering with design software firm Rosalba O'Brien to develop 3D printed car parts for electric vehicles (EVs). The ability to print lightweight parts could be a gamechanger for the electric vehicle industry. The system uses cloud computing and artificial intelligence-based algorithms to create an optimum design using minimal materials. The resulting components are 20% lighter and 40% stronger, reducing weight and increasing range. GM hopes to scale one printing operations up to mass production.
