WEBINAR: The Role of FDM 3D Printing in Automotive and Motorsports

When it comes to automobiles and especially motorsports, speed is key. As such, teams and manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to optimize weight on their vehicles. Enter 3D printing. Additive manufacturing is quickly being adopted in the automotive sector, not only as a way to quickly prototype more cost-effective and optimized parts, but also for the creation of final parts. And this is especially the case in motorsports with teams in NASCAR, Formula 1 and Grand Prix motorcycle racing, among others, turning to technologies like FDM for different applications. But how exactly is 3D printing being used in the automotive sector? What are the compatible solutions and processes?

In the webinar, “The Role of FDM 3D Printing in Automotive and Motorsports,” which took place on January 26th at 4PM CET/10AM EST, attendees were able to learn about this and more. We were joined by 3ntr in order to explore how high-performance FDM 3D printing specifically can be used in the automotive industry, especially for motorsports. Moreover, along with Emanuele D’Addario we also were able to delve into specific examples of how high-performance FDM can be used in the sector, including for parts on vehicles.
