Audi Toolmaking produced a 1:2 scale replica of the 1936 Auto Union Type C. A practical example of the brand's know-how in the domain of 3D printing technology.
The vehicle, a 1:2 scale Auto Union Type C, was produced using an industrial 3D printer, using laser technology and a specific metallic powder, capable of creating sections and filaments with a diameter smaller than that of a human hair. . This material, worked in this way, becomes quite flexible, allowing the production of components with a complex geometry, sometimes more easily than conventional methods.In fact, the German brand admits that it is already using this technology in the production of small iron and aluminum components. It's the sign of the times.

Audi's aim is to continue to develop three-dimensional printing technology for future integration into series production mechanisms. This 1:2 scale Auto Union Type C is further proof that innovation is indeed one of the great strengths of the automotive industry.
