3D Systems announced Sauber Motorsports, a Swiss motorsport engineering company, has selected 3D Systems’ latest polymer 3D printing technologies to accelerate innovation. Sauber intends to add 10 3D Systems 3D printers — eight SLA 750 Dual and two PSLA 270 — to its manufacturing workflow. The combination of these industry-leading technologies along with 3D Systems’ Accura® Composite PIV, Accura Xtreme, and Figure 4® ceramic-filled materials will increase Sauber’s production capacity for wind tunnel parts: enabling the team to maintain its position as a leading competitor.
3D Systems’ SLA 750 Dual is recognized as the fastest Stereolithography (SLA) solution available. The platform is designed to deliver the industry-leading combination of print size, speed, accuracy, and resolution for final parts that possess unmatched finish and mechanical performance. The two-laser configuration of this printer delivers increased throughput in a smaller footprint, delivering a higher return to Sauber on its investment.

The PSLA 270 is a high-speed, projector-based SLA additive manufacturing solution that efficiently delivers high-quality parts with the most stable mechanical properties. This compact, cost-efficient, versatile mid-frame 3D printing solution delivers unrivalled accuracy, and first article success expected from SLA, with the speed, and material portfolio of 3D Systems’ Figure 4 projector-based technology. Sauber is the first Formula 1 team to incorporate the recently released PSLA technology to deliver the flexibility needed to execute quick, time-sensitive changes to wind tunnel parts.
