DALLARA Main Technical Achievements M36

In the frame of the Smartfan project, Dallara Automobili is developing an innovative front wing for the racing car sector.

The part was redesigned in an innovative way if compared with the traditional wings, with the aim of achieving the maximum product quality, in combination with a reduction of the production costs.

Prepreg carbon patches are initially preformed through a semi-automated process that involves the use of a vacuum bench. The preformed plies are subsequently placed into a mold and the final shape is obtained by compression molding. A specific tooling was designed to produce a part with an undercut geometry.

This process presents a number of innovations, including highly repeatable quality of the part, high strength and stiffness combined with lightweight.

In addition, the labor intensity required for the production of the part was significantly reduced. The time for the manufacturing of the part was reduced of more than 50%, with a resulting beneficial effect on the production costs of the part.
