RACE TEAM RELIES ON 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY

摘要

A full-scale mockup of the Mini John Cooper Works World Rally Car, created directly from CAD files, included 3D-printed components for the engine bay, gearbox, steering assembly, and more. Beyond the test track, the team has developed a list of 15 components per car to be produced via Stratasys' Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing technology. One of the most visible of these end-use parts is an ergonomically styled gearshift display and control panel, which is mounted on the steering column.
