3D Systems announces BWT Alpine F1 Team purchased 4 SLA 750 3D printing systems

3D Systems announced BWT Alpine F1 Team has purchased four SLA 750 3D printing systems to accelerate innovation and speed to track. The Team made the decision to purchase the systems after it extensively tested the product in its beta phase. BWT Alpine F1 Team is currently using the SLA 750 systems and 3D Systems’ Accura Composite PIV material to build models for wind tunnel testing, including complex aerodynamic parts with pressure tappings as well as small composite tools and high-temperature bonding jigs. "We are very impressed with the depth of precision engineering that went into the development of 3D Systems’ SLA 750," said Ben Mallock, deputy head of aerodynamics, BWT Alpine F1 Team. "BWT Alpine F1 Team has a long-standing technical partnership with 3D Systems, and we were pleased to have early access to this product when it was still in beta. We put the SLA 750 through its paces during testing and achieved the best part quality we have so far seen in the market with considerably improved productivity. As a result, we purchased additional SLA 750 systems to bring our total to four. We are enjoying the positive impact this is having on our wind tunnel testing, and getting our innovation to the track faster. With the support of 3D Systems’ SLA and SLS solutions, we’re able to produce 25,000 additively manufactured parts each year. This is a true testament to the productivity these technologies enable."
