Part 6/9:
Achieving these biomimetic shapes isn't just an academic exercise; modern materials and manufacturing breakthroughs make mass production feasible. Mara leverages advanced manufacturing methods, notably 3D printing, to prototype and produce complex components quickly and economically.
For example, Mara used 3D-printed pistons in high-performance Porsche GT2 RS engines, demonstrating the potential for rapid prototyping of sophisticated shapes. Such techniques are now extending to electric motors and thermal management components, enabling the transition from experimental design to series production.
