Williams Racing, one of the world’s leading Formula One teams, announced a new partnership with Nexa3D, manufacturers of ultrafast industrial grade polymer 3D printers, to employ NXE400 3D printer for the manufacture of functional wind tunnel parts required for aero testing purposes.
Nexa3D’s NexaX software will enable high-performance additive manufacturing processes using modern computation architecture to develop light-weighted parts and accelerate the file-to-part process.
With Nexa3D’s technology, Williams Racing will be able to quickly design and manufacture complex, light weighted parts in minutes, compared to hours with traditional manufacturing, while minimizing material usage and waste. The NXE400 3D printer breaks printing speed barriers with its 20X productivity through its proprietary Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing (LSPc) technology and patented structured light matrix capable of reaching top speeds of 1Z centimetre per minute.
