CARBO™ Brake introduces the world’s first 3D-printed titanium brake calipers, setting a new standard in automotive braking systems. These advanced T6XX (6-piston) and T4XX (4-piston) calipers are structurally optimized using artificial intelligence and designed for hypercars, supercars, and high-performance vehicles. With unparalleled performance, durability, and customization, these innovations represent a leap forward in brake technology.
Key Highlights:
- Unmatched Material Advantage: 3D-printed titanium offers 30% greater strength than aluminum at 20°C and up to 4,000% greater strength at 400°C, ensuring superior stability under extreme conditions.
- Lightweight Construction: The T6XX caliper weighs just over 3.5 kg, while the T4XX is over 3 kg, achieving a 10% weight reduction compared to traditional systems.
- Enhanced Performance Index: Delivers a 180% improvement in performance metrics such as stiffness, deformation, and braking power compared to leading benchmarks.
- Wider Compatibility: The T6XX supports brake discs up to 410 mm, while the T4XX accommodates discs up to 400 mm, catering to a broad range of high-performance models.
Cutting-edge Design and Technology
CARBO™ Brake’s calipers leverage a combination of generative design and AI for structural optimization, surpassing traditional manufacturing methods. The integrated cooling system with advanced fins and ducts ensures optimal heat dissipation, enhancing reliability even in extreme conditions. Titanium pistons coated with Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) and a CrN-OX exterior further improve durability and performance.
Proven Track Performance
Rigorous testing at the Nürburgring, conducted with Kalmar Automotive’s 9X9 vehicle, showcased the calipers’ capabilities under extreme conditions. Over 5,000 km of testing revealed consistent performance, zero fading, and precise pedal feedback. Test driver Dennis Lind praised the system, noting, “At some stages the car is performing better than my FIA GT3 race car.”
Applications and Customization
The T6XX and T4XX calipers cater to leading hypercars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren, as well as compact performance vehicles such as the Audi RS3 and Porsche Cayman. Customizable designs and an iridescent CrN-OX finish provide aesthetic appeal alongside superior functionality.
CARBO™ Brake continues to redefine braking innovation, delivering components that enhance performance without compromising safety or durability.
