“An excellent trade fair highlight at this year's the 3D-printed center console from Bayerische Motoren Werke,” explains Thilo Stier from Akro-Plastic. For the first time in large-scale automotive production, a component made of bio-based polymer with recycled carbon fiber was created using the 3D printing process.

The outstanding implementation, the low carbon footprint and the impressive strength of the component impressed the SPE AutomotiveAwardjury so much that it achieved the highest score across all categories.
As a result, load-bearing 3D-printed components are now finding their way into large-scale automotive production.Congratulations to your team and the BMW Deutschland. 💚 💚
