Honda, Alotech Win Casting of the Year

摘要

When Honda decided to relaunch a new generation of its Acura NSX sports-car, which originally debuted 25 years ago, it put an R&D team in charge of its development and announced global production would be in the U.S. The carmaker wanted to push itself to use advanced materials and processes in building the supercar. After three years of design, the production version of the NSX was unveiled this January, featuring a space-frame body built with advanced materials and processes-some for the first time in production. Key to the space frame were three cast aluminum connecting joints produced by Honda via the groundbreaking ablation casting process.
