This case study has demonstrated how KICK Sauber F1® Team are using their MetalFab systems to create safety critical Ti6Al4V chassis inserts for their F1 race car. The design freedoms of AM have been leveraged to create an ultra-lightweight, integrated single component optimised for the significant loads imparted.
The autonomous and full-field laser capability of the MetalFab enables the demanding F1 production requirements to be met whilst maintaining high part quality.
