Every year there is a global university student formula one race, and 3D printing is the first to be used in this cutting-edge car race.Bears at the South Pole has previously reported that a lot of cases, such as changsha university of science and technology team work with HuaShu high-tech components for 3 d printing, south China agricultural university team cooperation with Shanghai g and print the battery module shell, etc.
There are similar cases in foreign countries. On May 24, 2018, the Antarctic bear learned from the foreign media that 3D printing technology has brought advantages to the Spanish university team in the annual student equation competition.
The ETSEIB team consists of Spanish engineering students at the university of technology in Catalonia (UPC).BCN3DTechnologies has simplified manufacturing processes by using local manufacturers' 3D printers.
Since 1998, formula student competitions have pitted international college students against each other, creating, building, testing small formula cars and racing them.The event, organized by the association of mechanical engineers (IMechE), aims to promote innovative projects.
The team has more than four years of experience in making burning and electric cars.
3D printing redefines the workflow
Forty student engineers at ETSEIBMotorsport are using 3D printing to cut costs and improve logistics in their day-to-day operations.Specifically, ETSEIBMotorsport improves the workflow in three major areas.
First, 3D printing helps design validation and component iteration.With open source BCNSigmax, in-house engineers can print their CAD designs overnight.This radically reduces validation and iteration time, improves efficiency and reduces dependence on external vendors.
Secondly, 3D printing can achieve economic and efficient manufacturing.Students at ETSEIBMotorsport are building end-use parts and tools for cars, including brake pipes, cable straps and molds for carbon-fiber bodies.

Finally, because of 3D printing, the overall car cost and delivery time are reduced.Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, the team produced parts at lower cost and faster speed, especially the design of complex parts.By cutting car costs with 3D printing, the team saved thousands of euros in car development costs, allowing them to repay initial investment within the first month of use.
The ETSEIB formula car is on the starting line
3D printing for the automotive industry
As previously reported, mass production using additive manufacturing is still far off, but the use of 3D printing in automobiles is increasing.The Italian carmaker XEV has teamed up with Polymaker, a maker of 3D printer wires, to build a 3d-printed low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV) for mass production.XEV reports that the use of 3D printing to make cars has eliminated processes such as metal and rubber stamping, welding and painting.
LocalMotors is another company that USES 3D printing in transportation and makes 3D printing cars.
ETSEIBMotorsport is in the top ten of three international equation student competitions in Austria, Germany and Spain.The team was named best Spain at Barcelona's Montmelo.The final will be held at silverstone UK on July 11, 2018, solstice 15.

After the 2018 World Cup to Colombia and Poland, Russia's World Cup group a second round of the game is all over, in Poland so far out of the first, out of the 2018 World Cup team is what?Let's see!
Who will be out of the World Cup in 2018
The fate of many of the World Cup's participating teams has been revealed after 11 days and 32 group matches.
Some are happy and some are worried. Russia, France, Belgium, England and six other teams have won two games, locking in tickets for the last 16.And Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Peru, Poland and other teams are both defeated, will be eliminated from the tournament.Poland has also been unlucky to be the only European team to be eliminated, as well as the seed team.
In host Russia in group A, Russia and Uruguay won two games before the excellent performance are achieved excellent results 2 in A row, the two teams will be advanced to the knockout, hand in hand and their group stage opponents two suffered two defeats, Egypt and Saudi Arabia finish ahead of the World Cup, only the last battle of honor.
In group B, Spain (1 win 1 draw) and Portugal (1 win 1 draw) and Iran (1, 1) has achieved a victory, the three team will be in the final round competition two qualification places, while Morocco team because of an determine two straight out.
Made two wins in group C, France qualify, Peru two defeats early exit, Denmark (1 win 1 draw) and Australia (level 1) points, four points and 1 minute, the two teams will each against France in the last round and Peru, to compete for the last place.
Group D, have won two straight Croatia with strong performance, promoted ahead of schedule, the rest of the three teams Nigeria (1-1), Iceland (level 1) and Argentina (level 1) need to be in the final round of contest in the race for a draw.
Group E, determine out only two defeats of costa rica, Brazil (1 win 1 draw) and Switzerland (1 win 1 draw) and Serbia (1-1) competition will be two qualification seats, among them, Brazil and Serbia in the final round of direct talks.
Group F the most complex, in the form of two rounds of home-country crowd, although Mexico won two wins in a row, still need to fight in the last round of Sweden to secure victory, but Germany (1-1) and Sweden (1-1) suffered two consecutive defeat of South Korea and even may exist in the final round of promotion.
In group G, although the two giants Belgium and England has not met, but the two teams have been relying on two straight first promotion, their two group opponents Tunisia and panama is due to two consecutive defeat out hand in hand.
Group H, in Colombia (1-1) after the win over Poland (2), the latter has confirmed that out, they will and Senegal (1 win 1 draw), Japan (1 win 1 draw) for the rest of a line of seats.
List of outgoing and outgoing teams:
Starting teams: Russia, Uruguay, France, Croatia, England, Belgium
Eliminated teams: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Peru, costa rica, Tunisia, panama, Poland
Including Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, the five big haven't got the qualification place, if at the end of the wheel to juggle, the group after the packing is not strange.
The suspense of the final group game is exciting enough.We all know that two games in the same group will be played in the third round at the same time. Some teams will change their positions in the third round.
