CRP Technology has partnered with MoRe Modena Racing from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, providing advanced 3D printing and Windform materials for their hybrid race car, M24-LH. This collaboration has resulted in the team's historic win as the first Italian team to secure victory at the prestigious Formula Student Austria competition.

CRP Technology, a leader in advanced 3D printing solutions, is thrilled to announce its pivotal role in MoRe Modena Racing's historic triumph at the 2024 Formula Student Austria competition. Held at the renowned RedBull Ring in Zeltweg from July 21 to 25, MoRe Modena Racing from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia made history as the first Italian team to win this prestigious event.

This landmark achievement was supported by a two-year technical partnership between CRP Technology and MoRe Modena Racing. CRP Technology provided its cutting-edge Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing services and proprietary Windform materials for the development of the team's 2024 hybrid race car, the M24-LH. The car, unveiled shortly before the competition, features crucial aerodynamic and structural components engineered and manufactured using CRP Technology's advanced materials.
Key Contributions by CRP Technology:
• Top Cover of the Upper and Lower Cascade Winglet of the Front Wing: Manufactured using Windform SL, these components enhance aerodynamic efficiency by increasing downforce and reducing drag.
• Top and Back Covers of the Turning Vane of the Front Wing: Made from Windform SL and Windform XT 2.0, these covers optimize the outwash effect of the wing, boosting overall performance.
• Rib of the Turning Vane of the Front Wing: Created from Windform XT 2.0, this element ensures structural rigidity and stability.
• Front, Central, and Rear Connection Covers: Constructed from Windform TPU, these components improve aerodynamic efficiency and stability.
• Paddles for Gear Shifting: Designed using Windform SL, these components fit the driver's fingers perfectly while maintaining a lightweight design.
• Support Components for Bus Bars and Windings: Made with Windform LX 3.0, these parts withstand continuous thermal stress and ensure high mechanical and insulating properties.
Franco Cevolini, CEO and Technical Director of CRP Technology, commented, "The collaboration with MoRe Modena Racing is going excellently. We have already produced several components in various Windform materials for the M24-LH, the new hybrid race car. This partnership is an extension of CRP's long-standing commitment to innovation and excellence in motorsport. It not only supports the development of cutting-edge solutions but also facilitates the transfer of knowledge and technology between industry and academia."
The M24-LH features a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, a modified Suzuki GSX-R engine running on ethanol, and a custom-built battery pack powering two electric motors. This hybrid powertrain delivers over 100 HP with a total vehicle weight of approximately 220 kg, coupled with a carbon fiber aerodynamic package generating 210 kg of downforce at 100 km/h.
Beatrice Terzo, Team Leader of MoRe Modena Racing, expressed her gratitude, stating, "The support we've received from CRP Technology has been crucial in enhancing our vehicle's performance and developing our skills as future engineers. This collaboration has allowed us to utilize advanced materials and technologies that were previously unavailable to us, making a significant difference in our project's success."
This partnership highlights CRP Technology's dedication to fostering innovation, research, and practical education in the motorsport and automotive sectors. By empowering young engineers with state-of-the-art tools and expertise, CRP Technology continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in additive manufacturing and high-performance engineering.
