Jabil and Renault F1 Team to collaborate on 3D printed racecar parts

Manufacturing solutions provider Jabil has announced an agreement with the Renault F1 Team to 3D print parts for use in the 2019 Formula One World Championship series. The cooperation is intended to speed up the development and delivery of 3D printed racecar parts for the Renault R.S.19. According to Jabil, the Renault F1 Team will benefit from the Jabil Additive Manufacturing Network, which provides fast and efficient access to top-quality parts.
We’re excited to be part of Renault F1 Team’s strategy to improve performance with additive manufacturing, said John Dulchinos, VP of digital manufacturing at Jabil. Our ability to consolidate a global supply chain and scale qualified processes as needed will enable the production of chassis and on-car components in record time. The Renault F1 Team is an early adopter of 3D printing technology and continually seeks to produce lightweight parts without compromising part strength or integrity. Antoine Magnan, Head of Partnerships at Renault Sport Racing, commented: Every single aspect of what we do is geared towards excellence.
