Episode Synopsis

 














As Designers and hobbyists utilize 3D printing to create custom looks with custom colors for both standard auto parts & performance applications, the technology of producing hard to find parts is a current reality.







Melanie Lang, FormAlloy Co-Founder and CEO https://bit.ly/2NyWUlK , is motivated by developing a disruptive technology that delivers the future we could have previously only imagined - the ability to Form, Enhance, and Repair metallic components that go beyond the bounds of traditional manufacturing. https://bit.ly/2NyWUlK



3D printing refers to any manufacturing process which builds or forms 3D parts in layers from CAD data. The technology is extremely significant as it offers direct manufacturing, meaning a design goes directly from you to physical product through a computer and a printer. From a special designed performance intake manifold for a Bugatti Veyron or a brake pedal for a 1927 Ford , 3D printing is paving the way for automotive parts production that gives us both spectacular history and a serious future alike .



Melanie Lang joins Wrench Nation Car Talk as we explore the exciting world of 3D printing.
