Manufacturing methods that enable economies of scale or better performance have been highlighted as one of the key challenges of automotive PE supply chains, with specific reference to better heatsinks developing by 2035 (APC,2021). In addition, the UK is aiming to transition the automotive industry to NetZero by 2035, an ambitious target with current raw material requirements increasing.Carbon Forest Products will conduct a feasibility study to demonstrate the potential for the UK PEMD supply chain to introduce the world's first 3D graphite heatsink for use in automotive thermal management systems. The project builds on previous research and development projects which proved that 3D printing of lignin via selective laser sintering could produce complex geometries with both thermally and electrically conductive properties for the static CPU server market.This project will also demonstrate potential for scale up of manufacture by adjusting existing machinery to facilitate faster additive manufacturing print times .

实现规模经济或更好性能的制造方法已被强调为汽车PE供应链的关键挑战之一，具体提到到2035年开发更好的散热器（APC,2021）。此外，英国的目标是到2035年将汽车工业过渡到NetZero，这是一个雄心勃勃的目标，目前对原材料的需求正在增加。Carbon Forest Products将进行可行性研究，以展示英国PEMD供应链引入世界上第一个用于汽车热管理系统的3D石墨散热器的潜力。该项目建立在先前的研究和开发项目的基础上，该项目证明，通过选择性激光烧结的木质素3D打印可以为静态CPU服务器市场生产具有导热和导电性能的复杂几何形状。该项目还将展示通过调整现有机械以加快增材制造打印时间来扩大制造规模的潜力。
