Does anyone know how strong is the frame of the new released MARS?

Hello friends,
I'm curious if the new Mars frame (3D printing) has close stiffness compared to the OG (Ti alloy)? Waiting for your input.

My guess, based on the release literature, is that these are actually made on a DMLS machine not a typical 3D printer as you would imagine.

At my prior job we would prototype functional engine components this way when we didn't want to spend money building a prototype die cast tool. Parts made this way are actually denser and stronger than a typical cast part. This is probably why people who have weighed there MUZM pieces have found they are heavier than the originals.

If Lux didn't find a way to screw it up, these would be as strong, or stronger, then the originals.

looks like you know some technical details, thank you

I just wish they weren't so damned expensive.I think its such a cool reissue.

Do we know where they were made?
Rubber kits?
Any info on the production?
