“…At the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics and KSPG AG which is part of the Rheinmetall Group, researches to improve the mechanical performance of engine blocks made of alloy AlSi17Cu4Mg are made [14]. To increase the service life of the engine and reduction of the friction in the kinematic couplings, studies to optimize the distribution of forces generated by the functioning of the engine group are performed [15].…”

This paper presents how the manufacturing technologies are designed for the assembly of a singlecylinder engine block, four strokes, air-cooled. It is presented, from the constructive and technological point of view, the design stages of the main element of the core of an engine, respectively, the engine block. This engine is currently used on light vehicle categories such as ATVs, quads, and motorcycles. In the researches, activities are developed such as the following: designing of various digital technologies to achieve virtual prototype, obtaining a prototype using additive manufacturing technologies, and manufacturing the engine block using CNC technologies, under a range of unique products or small series. Many of the designing activities are materialized in an original software system, named GENgine, developed by authors using Open DCL and Visual LISP programming environments.
