In a super sports car, every single detail serves one purpose: to improve the performance of the vehicle. This applies not only to engine performance and speed but simply to all components from the drivetrain to safety.

For this upper wishbone of a hypercar, The junction points of this upper wishbone are additively manufactured, allowing CP-Tech to weld the assembly effectively. The properties of the EBM-manufactured nodes provide a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior weldability—making them an ideal match for this high-performance suspension component. These are ideal characteristics for this high-performance suspension component in the hypercar.

FIT has built 4 junction elements from grade 5 titanium using the EBM process. After a thorough quality inspection (GOM scan after blasting, etc. density test), the elements were delivered to the customer.

If you are looking for an experienced and reliable manufacturing partner for your team, we look forward to hearing from you.

Additively manufacturing wind tunnel parts using laser melting technology allows for rapid design iterations, enabling you to make the most of the oftentimes limited wind tunnel access. These parts made from aluminum will withstand the high forces inside the wind tunnel while allowing for tight tolerances, a fine resolution, and excellent surface qualities.

When smooth surfaces are required, we also offer the cost-saving option of building the base body from ceramic-filled SLA using stereolithography and then electroplating the part for the required metal properties.

The challenges of an AM usually are not just how to get a part printed. That’s the easy part. The art of creating outstanding new products or solutions results from a highly intertwined combination of many different parallel tasks across multiple domains. A good example is the project of the speed tunnel challenge, an interactive game for trade shows. Players are asked to blow into a device which will measure the speed of the air stream, the best results will be displayed in an online ranking. Within an extremely tight timeframe, FIT.technology was tasked with transforming a basic idea from a hand sketch into a fully functional prototype ready to use during the trade show.

Meeting this challenge was a challenge in itself. It involved rapid prototyping of the gun housing including sensors, a special stand, and the programming of specific algorithms for electronics and web integration. All involved manufacturing technologies (SLS, chemical smoothing and dyeing, laser cutting and sheet metal bending) are inhouse services at FIT.

Result: The electronics prototype was ready after 5 business days, and the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of the measuring gun unit was completed by day 7. So, even under tight budgets and timelines, successful outcomes are achievable by combining agile methods, a clear milestone plan, and the application of state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies.
