Italdesign USA @Michigan’s SAE WCX and Car Body Xperience events to showcase its innovative approach
Italdesign’s U.S. Engineering and Design Team promotes its Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) expertise in automotive industry at Michigan’s SAE WCX and Car Body Xperience Shows:
SAE WCX 2025 in Detroit, Huntington Place, April 8-10 – Italdesign booth no. 457 – Presentation during the Technical Sessions on April 9
Car Body Xperience 2025, in Rochester Hills , Royal Park Hotel, April 1-2.
Italdesign experts will be showcasing a recent case study at Car Body Xperience and SAE WCX, demonstrating an advanced solution for lighter, stronger, and hence more performing vehicle architectures on premium super sport vehicles. The team reimagined and optimized a critical structural component. Through Italdesign’s expertise in Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM), these professionals created a single streamlined structure that:
- features innovative geometries not possible with traditional manufacturing methods,
- is 30 percent lighter than the original,
- and has fewer parts and welds yet increased reliability.
With these improvements comes simplified component manufacturing, greatly reducing lead time and creating production scalability efficiencies. This component aims to replace the existing design in future super sports cars. Both the original and the reimagined component will be on display, showcasing Italdesign’s innovative approach.
