Is the future already here for additive manufacturing (AM) – or 3D printing – in Formula 1? It’s an open secret that printed components have been used on cars during actual races over the last ten years but the myth of 3D printing has been propagated by years of secrecy and hearsay. F1 teams initially used 3D printing for rapid prototyping as far back as 2000, but more recently they have exploited the additive technology for real race car applications.
Many components ar...
