In other words... is HRE using titanium to make up for the weaker method of printing a wheel?
The tensile strength of the Titanium used is 3 times that of T6-6061 aluminum. There are pros and cons for both Titanium and for T6-6061 aluminum, but ultimately this wheel in terms of it's stiffness and strength far exceeds our current standards.
