3d printing engine brackets?
Hey all,
Noob question for you all. Would the strength of prints provided by a standard 3d printer using PLA or ABS be capable of printing brackets strong enough to use on a car engine? I'm rebuilding a 66 GMC, and am trying to showcase "new" technology as part of the build. I'd love to be able to create customer brackets for the alternator, power steering, etc using a 3d printer, but want to ensure the materials and builds are strong enough for daily driver use, withstanding both environmental factors (heat/cold), as well as tension caused by the devices they're holding.
Is it realistic, and just a matter of things like fill pattern, design, infill density . . . or am I being unrealistic.
Thanks all!
Printer will print perfect...
