Small Yet Critical: 3D Printed End Caps by Formero

Formero has been a partner of Monash Motorsport for many years, and are renowned for their high quality 3D Printing services. Our aerodynamic wing profiles require end caps for assembly of the carbon fiber skins and to transfer loading to the mounting structure. They have to be lightweight, yet stiff enough to pass deflection rules. As such, end caps are highly important components of our car that enable our aerodynamic package to be suitably attached to the vehicle.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Workflow

Computational Fluid Dynamics Workflow or ‘CFD’ Workflow is an integral element of the teams testing and simulation system. It allows the Dynamics department to compare results from past to current runs using graphs, tables, images and videos. Recently we have undergone a major upgrade to this workflow, making it fully automated.

Aerodynamics: On–track Flow Visualisation

M13′s aerodynamic package saw huge gains over its predecessors, mostly due to the implementation of a drag reduction system allowing for a more aggressive design for downforce, which was visualised using flow vis paint.
