To design a lightweight borderline cylinder head and crankcase for series production, the new challenges within the established simulation method should be addressed and the methodology adapted. Within the scope of the presented work, these components are being designed for production using the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process, which offers new degrees of freedom for example, complex water jackets are no longer restricted by the typical manufacturing constraints of casting core. AM makes a borderline lightweight design achievable even for large components such as cylinder heads and crankcases. The latest developments in additive manufacturing make this production technology attractive for the automotive industry. ![]()
