Vladislav Andronov, Zdeněk Pitrmuc, Jan Zajíc, Pavel Šotka, Libor Beránek & Martin Bock Abstract This study addresses a critical issue in mass-producing gearbox housing MQ200GA at Škoda Auto a.s. The combination of SW ProCAST simulations and metal 3D printing (laser powder bed fusion—L-PBF) overcomes challenges posed by full mold printing. Instead, the authors adapt the conformal cooling design, introducing specific channel
R.SpinaDipartimento di Ingegneria Meccanica e Gestionale, Politecnico di Bari, Bari, Italy Abstract This paper studies the fabrication of a plastic arm of the body interior of a medium-sized car in order to evaluate the beneficial effects of using sequential injection moulding (SIM). The main requirement for the component is optimal surface finishing to maintain an excellent surface
