Customer story AIX Racing
The Formula 2 and Formula 3 team runs 32 people out of Berlin and Dubai, on a calendar of 14 races where every car and engine is identical. Tools, airflow tubes and cabin parts are printed in the garage, and one machine travels to the circuit, so a repair happens on site and overnight at the latest.
“It’s just a matter of time before all Formula teams have a 3D printer.”
