Lightweighting for Heavy Manufacturing
Lightweighting is a process of replacing a material with another to reduce weight while maintaining performance. Automotive reduces weight to improve fuel efficiency primarily since the payload itself is fairly constant. Aerospace uses lightweigting to increase payload and range. In that respect, the advantage of lightweighting for heavy manufacturing is closer to that for the […]
