Time as the Currency of Formula 1: The Driving Force Behind Investments and Decisions in Production

In Formula 1, time is not only critical on the track but also off it—particularly in production. This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the production setup: Which facilities are available, and which components are manufactured additively?

The first showcase highlights the importance of time in stereolithography (SLA). Shorter production lead times have a direct impact on aerodynamic development. The second showcase focuses on direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). It demonstrates how automation and increased productivity support chassis development and free up valuable development time.

Time is one of the most critical currencies in Formula 1. It drives decisions, investments, and innovations. Only those who use this currency efficiently can remain competitive in the toughest motorsport arena. This presentation offers fascinating insights for engineers and motorsport enthusiasts alike.
