It produced high-performance aluminum pistons using 3D printing techniques for the first time. The company is developing its expertise in 3D printing, so that, in the future, it will also be able to support its customers in the field of alternative drives, such as electric drives, by supplying suitable components for drives, thermal management. '

High performance vehicles consist of more pistons than average performance vehicles. The increasing demand for high-performance vehicles in developing countries such as India and China is likely to increase the demand for automotive piston engines. Also, The growth of vehicle sales is due to the increase in urbanization, changing demographics, and improved standards of living, as well as people's increased spending capacity. The increasing demand for high-performance vehicles, safety and convenience is propelling the demand for high-performance vehicles coupled with more numbers of piston engines. Younger people are also more ready towards high speed, luxury and comfort.

The biggest challenge facing the automotive industry is finding ways to improve engine performance. These goals can be achieved by reducing the overall size and weight of all components in the engine. The piston is one of the most important and essential parts of the engine, which revs up and moves the engine in order to provide motion. Aluminum alloys are becoming increasingly popular because of their beneficial characteristics, such as lightweightness, maximum corrosion resistance, greater strength, high durability, and enhanced operating capacity at high temperatures.

The Asia-Pacific holds the largest share in the market owing to increased production and sales of vehicles in this region. As countries in Asia-Pacific adopt advanced technologies to develop fuel-efficient and lightweight vehicles, the market for these vehicles is growing. The growth of the market for fuel efficiency in this region is being fueled by increases in disposable income among people, as well as increased awareness among buyers and manufacturers.
