Ducati Corse boosts performance with Roboze 3D printing. The main goal was to drastically reduce the time between design and track tests, ensuring mechanically performing parts even at high temperatures.

Ducati Corse was looking for a new solution capable to help them validate their designs with robust and repeatable 3D printing technology to speed up the design phases of functional prototypes and finished parts while optimizing costs and geometries.

Ducati Corse has found in Roboze technology and materials the perfect solution to reduce the development times of these components, facilitating their realization and the test phase on the track.
By realizing the heat shield of the tank in Carbon PEEK with the Roboze ARGO 500, in fact, it is possible to streamline the entire production process, eliminating the tooling phase in the initial stages and validating a new design before proceeding with the final production in carbon fiber - lighter than the printed solution.

The functional prototypes made with this material have been successfully used during all the testing phases, easily withstanding the thermomechanical stresses and promoting the validation process of new designs.

By printing the Carbon PEEK tank heat shield with the Roboze ARGO 500, Ducati Corse reduced development time by approximately two weeks, saving 37% of the estimated costs on all the iterations prior to making the final component.
