Additive manufacturing for product improvement at Red Bull Technology
This research described in this publication served as part of the decision making process for adoption of ALM technology within the collaborating company (Red Bull Racing F1: Steve Nevey, steve_nevey@yahoo.com), and also as an indicator to others within motorsport through industrially focussed dissemination (TCT Show, Race Engine Technology magazine). For the first time, the work validated the use of Laser Melted Titanium 64 alloy for high pressure hydraulic applications (a key step in the decision to adopt this technology within a highly risk averse industry) and demonstrated the potential for performance improvements via the design freedom provided by ALM.
