Check Out Airbus' 3D Printed Dividing Wall

[Brian_Krassenstein]

At this year’s Autodesk University 2015 the company showed off the results of their collaboration with Airbus to use auto-generative design to create the world's largest 3D printed airplane cabin structural component. Using Autodesk generative design algorithms, Airbus created a new dividing wall that separates the main passenger seating area with the plane's galley and flight attendant jumpseats. The assembled partition weighs 45% less than the current design and Airbus estimates that using this new design process could save up to 465,000 metric tons of C02 emissions every year, the equivalent of removing 96,000 cars from the road.

Very interesting!
