Why settle for convention? Are you ready to experience the next generation of thermal management applications?
Date: 17 July 2025
Time: 14:00pm (UK)
Duration: 30 minutes
Agenda:
What’s possible when you combine Ricoh’s cutting-edge aluminium binder jetting technology with powerful physics-driven generative design software from ToffeeX?
Ricoh 3D and ToffeeX collaborated to design an innovative cold plate for inverters in electric vehicle motor drives, achieving remarkable performance improvements through advanced design fluid-topology optimisation techniques.
The redesigned cold plate demonstrated exceptional results:
- Enhanced thermal performance with a 6.9% lower thermal resistance
- Improved flow distribution resulting in a 31% reduction in pressure loss
- A significant 68% reduction in overall weight compared to a traditional copper design
Find out from the engineering and design experts how you too can deliver premium thermal performance while maintaining cost-effectiveness, taking products from prototype to production quicker than ever before…
Together, we can reshape the future of thermal management applications.
