Additive manufacturing has been crucial in the motor sports world for years. In the race for speed and performance, it has been a lynchpin for design and testing. Now, race teams are discovering that additive manufacturing can be used for more than simply producing and evaluating new part designs. The technology can produce parts that are ready to hit the track and endure the rigors of high-speed racing.
Motor sports teams are using the technology for direct digital manufacturing (DDM) of production parts. In doing so, teams have demonstrated that parts made via additive manufacturing have the quality and durability to meet the demands of race cars of all types.
