Posted on | by Info Pearl Motors

The Italian sports car brand, Lamborghini has adopted 3D printing technology for its production process. The automotive company is working in association with Carbon to efficiently produce high- quality, lightweight, end-use parts. In particular, they are using Carbon technology to re-design various parts needed for the vehicle. The initially produced parts include new textured fuel cap with the Urus label and a chip component for an air duct.

 Stefan Gramse, Chief Procurement Officer of Lamborghini found that many of the automotive company’s vehicle components were ideal for digital manufacturing and will be using Carbon printers along with Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) technology. DLS uses light and oxygen to produce products from resin at a faster pace. Lamborghini said to join hands with Volkswagen’s Electronic Research Lab in the redesign process.

While other automakers are experimenting with different materials and manufacturing techniques, Carbon showcased its first digitally manufactured Polymer parts in production for Ford including Focus HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling Lever Arm Service Parts.

Posted on | by Info Pearl Motors

Rolls Royce has come with a new option at the Chengdu motor show which allows the passengers to have a completely private space in the rear of their car, sealing them off from both the outside world as well as from the driver.

The Private Suite option introduced by the Rolls Royce adds a privacy screen between the rear passenger area and the two front seats as well as increases the acoustic insulation to block out the sound from the passenger area for the added privacy. An intercom communication is also present between the front and rear occupants at the rear passenger’s discretion. With this, the driver can contact the rear compartment but the occupants can choose to reject the call if they need.

The privacy screen is made of the electrochromatic glass and can be turned to opaque at the flick of a switch. A small opening in the divider is present in the Rolls- Royce to allow the objects to be seen before being passed through.

In order to provide more privacy to the passengers, the windows are fitted with privacy glass as well as full curtains which allow the occupants to be shielded from the outside. It also has the option of blocking the view out of the windows.

Two 12.0-inch monitors have been mounted to the dividing structure between the front and rear with device connectivity as well as access to the car’s infotainment system. The option is a part of the Rolls -Royce’s customisation programme.
