In the constant search for advantages on the track, LEGACY MOTOR CLUB is integrating large-format additive manufacturing into its processes. This technology allows creating aerodynamic components and deflectors directly from a digital model, altering traditional development methods. The approach reduces prototyping times and costs, offering a more agile response to competition challenges.
From digital data to the car: agility in development 🏎️
The technology used enables on-demand production of complex and lightweight parts. By eliminating stages such as mold creation or extensive machining, the team can iterate designs quickly. This facilitates testing specific aerodynamic configurations for each circuit in a short timeframe. Direct manufacturing from digital files establishes a workflow that prioritizes adaptation and customization.
Goodbye to the workshop, hello to the corner printer 🤖
With this system, it seems the chief mechanic will have to share space with a 3D printing operator. The sound of the milling machine for hours will no longer be heard, but the hum of a machine depositing layers of material. If a deflector fails in practice, instead of ordering one from a distant supplier, they could print it while having a coffee. The tradition of sweat and chips gives way to the era of click and polymer.
