Pat was one of the early adopters of additive manufacturing (AM) within Formula 1 when the team acquired its first Stereolithography machine in 1998. Since then the department and the applications have expanded rapidly from function fit prototypes to include on vehicle applications, production tooling, casting patterns and windtunnel models. In this talk, Pat will walk you through the industry adoption of AM over this period and discuss how he sees this trend furthering into the future.
