Bugatti Develops World's First 3D Printed Titanium Brake Caliper

Bugatti is continually pushing the limits of supercar design and manufacturing innovation. The production process of the Chiron, for example, is insanely intricate, requiring nine months of manufacturing using 1,800 parts. And now the automaker has achieved a new milestone with the design and development of the world’s first 3D-printed brake caliper. Most components are traditionally made from aluminium but Bugatti’s new brake caliper is made from strong titanium, making it the world’s largest functional component produced from titanium using 3D printing.

I hope it's excessively expensive.

Why not just buy from Brembo or another supplier? Why are they even making a brake caliper? OK on a Golf, not really a good place to experience on a 250mph hypercar.

Wonder how much the replacement titanium printer cartridges cost?
