Abstract
KW Special Projects worked to build a lightweight composite structure for the industrial inkjet sector, reducing the size and structure of the printer by utilising their knowledge from the motorsport industry.
They were able to significantly reduce the labour that went into manufacturing the part resulting in reduced manufacturing time for the printer. They also reduced the printer’s weight and size and improved its thermodynamic properties, thermal management and serviceability; ultimately showcasing their technology transfer capabilities.
