“I am a member of the Drivetrain subteam on the University of Washington’s Formula Motorsports team. We are a student team and our goal is to design, build, and compete with a fully electric racecar. Our design underwent a monumental change this year which prompted us to look into additive metal manufacturing to create a particularly complex part, our motor cooling jacket. After little to no luck speaking with some larger manufacturing companies, we found an excellent partner in i3dMFG. Not only has the team been cooperative from the very first phone call, they have assisted us on the printability of the design throughout the process, suggesting small changes while working with a team engineer. Over the course of this process, i3dMDG created six Aluminum Direct Metal Laser Sintered cooling jackets for our new drivetrain package. We are currently in the process of manufacturing our racecar and are excited to assemble our system with this part highlighted. As a team that has stuck to subtractive manufacturing, we could not have asked for a better partner to help us venture into the additive manufacturing realm. The knowledge and designs made this year will be essential to this year and future years. From everyone at UW Formula Motorsports, we’d like to give a huge thank you to our friends at i3dMFG for their support!”
