Mannheim University Turns to AM Solution from Eplus3D for Aluminum Wheel Carrier
In racing, every millisecond counts as the first to cross the finish line. The Delta Racing Team of Mannheim University of Applied Sciences optimizes their racing car for the Formula Student Electric every year. The most significant improvement of the chassis this year is the production technology switch to additively manufactured wheel carriers and the benefits that come along with it. The most accurate numerical calculation methods, a topology- and production-optimized design, as well as the printing of the aluminum component on Eplus3D's EP-M250Pro, can achieve a weight saving of over 50% and thus an extraordinary increase of performance of the whole car compared to with the previous CNC-milled component.
