The Hyper-F Concept SUV showcases advanced design features. Its front bumper and hood vents are made with a material called Tafnex, and it uses directly pellet-fed 3D-printed parts to enhance the air ducts on the hood.
This SUV was developed in collaboration with Mitsui Chemicals and ARRK Corporation. These innovative materials help make the vehicle lighter, which improves its overall performance. Unlike traditional SUVs that usually have two seats, the Hyper-F Concept SUV comes with four sporty seats, providing more space and comfort.
TCD Asia has played a significant role in the development of this SUV by using cutting-edge 3D printing technologies.
One of these technologies includes the EXF-12 3D printer from ExtraBold Inc. This 3D printer uses plastic pellets, which makes the printing process more stable and faster. This method is particularly efficient for creating large parts, helping to reduce both production time and costs.
Furthermore, this approach supports sustainable manufacturing. The 3D-printed items can be recycled back into pellets, which can then be used to create new parts.
This recycling process helps reduce waste and promotes environmentally friendly practices in the automotive industry. Overall, the Hyper-F Concept SUV is a blend of innovative materials and advanced technology, designed to enhance performance while also supporting sustainability.
