Revolutionizing power: How 3D printed battery boxes could transform energy storage
Battery technology is at the heart of the modern energy revolution – from electric vehicles (EVs) to renewable energy storage and portable electronics. However, while attention is focused on improving battery chemistry, innovation battery casing is quietly reshaping the boundaries of performance. Traditional manufacturing methods such as extrusion or welding limit design flexibility, often forcing engineers to make compromises. Enter 3D printingspecifically Selective Laser Melting (SLM)which enables complex, lightweight and thermally optimized battery enclosures that were previously thought impossible. This technology unlocks Crimea and ensures greater efficiency, security and sustainability across industries.
The Science Behind 3D Printed Battery Cases
Unlike subtractive manufacturing, 3D printing builds components layer by layer based on a digital design. When it comes to metal battery cases, SLM is changing the game:
