Additive Manufacturing (AM) enhances component functionality in engineering. This study explores AM benefits for hydraulic pumps, by reviewing literature on fluid power and existing AM successes in pumps, pipes, and manifolds. While hydraulic pump research is scarce, the study redesigns a pump, mirroring successes in other hydraulic areas. Predicted outcomes include a 45-85% pressure drop reduction, 35% weight reduction, and fewer parts compared to traditional pumps, achieved with minor design changes. Larger-scale redesigns promise even greater improvements.
