ADDiTEC is thrilled to announce the debut of its latest venture, ADDiTEC Racing. This initiative marks the company’s foray into the world of motorsports, with active participation in the Porsche GT3 Cup Trophy and other related series events across the USA.
“We believe that ADDiTEC Racing will not only showcase our technological prowess but also serve as a catalyst for accelerating our presence in the automotive sector,” said Brian Matthews, CEO at ADDiTEC. “By competing at the highest level of motorsports and demonstrating the capabilities of our additive manufacturing solutions, we aim to raise awareness and drive adoption of our technology within the industry.”
The launch of ADDiTEC Racing represents a strategic move for the company, leveraging its expertise in high-performance additive manufacturing technologies. With the recent acquisition of race assets, including vehicles, support trailers, AM systems, and the recruitment of top-tier professional drivers, ADDiTEC is poised to make a powerful statement in its inaugural race this Saturday at the HOMESTEAD-MIAMI SPEEDWAY in Florida.
ADDiTEC offers two types of metal 3D printing technologies. The first one is a type of wire-based laser DED, that uses a high-power 6kW laser system and a deployable robotic architecture. The other is LMJ technology, which has over 10 years of development history by Xerox and uses a highly sophisticated drop-on-demand liquid metal printing process protected by over 300 patents. The technology affords high-resolution parts with built-in closed-loop process control, providing high-quality and reliable output and the lowest part production cost in the industry.
Central to ADDiTEC Racing’s mission is integrating cutting-edge additive manufacturing techniques into the racing domain. Utilizing high-performance liquid metal jetting (LMJ) and laser directed-energy-deposition (LDED) printed parts on its cars, ADDiTEC Racing aims to showcase the capabilities and advantages of its novel technology on the track. Moreover, each race event will feature live demonstrations of automotive part printing, providing a firsthand glimpse into the future of automotive manufacturing.
As ADDiTEC Racing gears up for its debut race, anticipation is high for the season ahead, which the company expects will be marked by innovation, competition, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
