The use of digital manufacturing techniques such as software modeling and scanning has become commonplace in modern seat shell manufacturing. However, the model is conventionally milled out of a foam block - this is where 3D printing can reveal an innovative alternative. VitalCentrum Hodey KG, the medical equipment specialist, and BASF Forward AM provide insights into their joint development: The combination of 3D printing, the material TPU and digitally generated lattice structures achieves numerous advantages such as new individualization options, outstanding air circulation as well as shock absorption.
