Takashima D-13 High-strength 3D composite printed component for Schumacher Mi10/9 TKSM-213

New from Takashima D-13 comes this high-strength 3D composite printed front bumper designed specifically for Schumacher’s new Mi10 and previous Mi9 touring car platforms. 

The bumper features an innovative dual-durometer composite structure engineered for maximum protection and performance.  The outer perimeter is printed using a high-strength premium material to provide superior overall rigidity and resistance to deformation. 

This ensures the bumper maintains its structural integrity during high-speed impacts while evenly distributing forces across the chassis.  In contrast, the inner energy-absorbing core utilises a flexible TPU honeycomb matrix. 

This design delivers a progressive compression effect upon impact, effectively absorbing and dampening crash energy to protect critical components such as the main chassis, front shock tower, and bulkheads. 

Compared to traditional solid composite bumpers, this dual-material design offers vastly superior crash protection while weighing in at a lightweight 10.2 grams. 

Additionally, its rapid rebound characteristics minimise car bounce and disruption immediately following a deflection, significantly improving on-track stability and long-term durability.
