The implementation of 3D printing technology has greatly improved efficiency within the company, and has enabled workers to create physical products in a matter of hours, rather than weeks or months. Take the case of DMG Mori for instance, one of Europe’s foremost machine tool manufacturers, which has been using 3D printing to make parts for Porsche, the iconic German automobile company. With more and more auto components being 3D printed, often to great effect, the whole industry is racing to catch up with additive manufacturing technology and its wide range of potential uses. The automobile industry has swerved to the left and is driving down a new lane-a faster lane. The company is predicting an imminent and dramatic rise in 3D printing technology within the automotive and aerospace industries. The Chopard and Mobil 1 stickers makes the area a little less bland.DMG Mori, a German manufacturer of cutting machine tools, is using its LASERTEC hybrid 3D printer and CNC mill to produce components for Porsche racing cars. Although it is accurate to the real-life counterpart, it looks pretty ugly. The sides of the rear are decorated with the Porsche DMG Mori logo.įinally on the back side of the Porsche 919 Hybrid, we have the spoiler and the rear diffuser. The roll-hoop mounted intake is actually on a hinge so you can move it up to remove the windshield. The windshield can be removed and there’s a fairly large curved sticker that goes on the top. For the #2 car, some of the sponsors that are shown here are Chopard, Schaeffler, and the Porsche Intelligent Performance logo. They don’t open but are just used for the panels. The sides of the Porsche 919 Hybrid uses some angled pieces for the design and there’s even actual door pieces which is really rare to see in the Speed Champions theme. This design choice actually works well and is pretty accurate to the actual design however it runs a little low to the ground. The front diffuser uses a double corner wall piece along with some 1×2 slope pieces for the side angles. On the inside of the cheese slope headlights, there are some stickers for Mobil 1 and Michelin as well as the Michelin Man on the outside of the headlights. There’s a larger sticker that goes right in the middle with the DMG Mori sponsor along with WEC Racing. At the front of the car, there are a number of curved pieces to give it the distinct look. The build of the Porsche is straightforward with not that many advanced building techniques. In addition to the 919 Hybrid, this set also includes a small start and finish post along with a laptop. People have also said that it could be Andre Lotterer. I’m not sure who the driver is based on but the #2 car is driven by Earl Bamber, Timo Bernhard, and Brendon Hartley. His accessory is a black wrench used to pop out the rims. ![]() The minifigure wears a white racing suit and like the other counterparts in the Speed Champions sets, it is decorated with sponsors including DMG Mori as the main one along with Vodafone, Mobil 1, and WEC Racing. The contents of the box include three unnumbered bags, a bag of rims, a loose black chassis, the instruction booklet, and a sticker sheet. The set has 163 pieces and retails for $14.99. In my last review of the single vehicle sets for the 2018 LEGO Speed Champions wave, I have the Porsche 919 Hybrid (75887). ![]()
