August 6, 2010 at 13:45Formula 1: Hungarian stage trophies were printed in 3D
Usually we work with various teams and automakers, helping them to prepare certain parts, as well as full-fledged prototypes of cars and sports cars. So, at the beginning of this year, we created an aerodynamic prototype of a car for the Formula 3 Signature Racing team for testing in an aerodynamic tunnel. Subsequently, the team won first place in the European Championship in its class.
This time, our contribution to the development of motorsport was somewhat unusual and was not associated with the preparation of prototype cars. We were contacted by the Italian architect Antonio Pio Saracino (Antonio Pio Saracino), which is preparing a trophy for the Hungarian Grand Prix Formula 1 and Moto Grand Prix at Sachsenring. ENI, one of the most famous sponsors in the world of motorsport, ordered Saracino to prepare a modern interpretation of their logo - a six-legged fire-breathing dog, which was a trophy for the above-mentioned grand prix.
Antonio Pio Saracino often combines art and new technologies in his works, and this order was no exception. The preparation of the trophies was carried out with the close cooperation of the designer with our company. In his trophy design, Saracino wanted to emphasize movement and speed, and therefore the body of the fire-breathing dog was presented in the form of lines. It is worth noting that it would be very difficult to prepare such a form without using 3D printing.
To prepare this project, we used 3D printing technology based on laser sintering of material in a 3D printer(selective laser sintering). When printing, plastic-polyamide was used, and at the end of the trophies were covered with gold, silver or bronze - depending on their face value.
The work of Antonio Pio Saracino once again emphasizes the versatility of 3D printing technology and the possibility of using new technologies not only for preparing prototypes, but also for creating design elements, sculptures and other contemporary art. World-class designers often work with us when creating their creations. Some of the projects that we worked on are presented on the website of our design department - .MGX .
We would like to congratulate the Red Bull F1 Racing team and Mark Webber on their victory in the Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix stage.
