Roboze, an additive manufacturing (AM) chief in tremendous polymers and composite supplies, has entered a three-year technical collaboration with the Monster Vitality Yamaha MotoGP group, starting in 2023 and working via 2025. Monster Vitality Yamaha MotoGP has been seeking to incorporate 3D printing into its improvement course of for a while, and with Roboze, it lastly discovered the suitable technical associate.
Roboze is not any stranger to collaborating with MotoGP groups, beforehand partnering with Volkswagen’s Ducati Corse group in 2022. Roboze provided the Ducati group with its printers, in addition to PEEK, PEEK CF, and different supplies to create lighter and extra aerodynamic components. Roboze additionally supplied technical experience to make sure the components met the calls for Ducati wanted on observe. The duo’s partnership culminated in Ducati’s MotoGP taking 1st and fifth within the 2022 driver’s championship and 1st within the 2022 constructors championship. Now, Roboze seems to be to proceed its success in MotoGP with the Monster Vitality Yamaha racing group.

The Monster Yamaha group wanted a associate with a confirmed observe report in AM and one that might assist incorporate 3D printing into its motorbike improvement. The expertise has develop into more and more prevalent throughout many racing disciplines, together with MotoGP, and Monster knew it needed to make the most of the expertise if it wished to remain aggressive within the sport. However who can be the suitable match? Enter Roboze.
The collaboration will make the most of Roboze’s mixture of superior mechatronics, industrial automation, and supplies science to assist develop the perfect motorbike. The Roboze ARGO 500 is about to be the principle printer used and might produce components that may substitute a number of the motorbike’s steel parts. The lighter weight supplies and optimized aerodynamics of every phase ought to produce a sooner car, and with 3D printing’s potential to provide and validate Monster Yamaha’s motorbike ideas faster, this might assist the group convey extra upgrades all through the season.

“In Roboze we’ve got discovered a complicated technological associate that we’re certain will assist us obtain nice technical outcomes,” says Michele Gadda, Engineering Supervisor at Yamaha Motor Racing. “Roboze ARGO 500 permits us to provide parts in carbon and with supplies proof against very excessive temperatures. For our technical group it was an actual breakthrough. We have now already examined and had very passable outcomes. Decreasing weights and manufacturing occasions, guaranteeing compliance with take a look at deadlines, give us the chance to precise the ingenuity and abilities of our technicians.”
“The problem for reaching unprecedented efficiency is what drives the Roboze group each day to evolve 3D printing expertise. Partnerships with revolutionary gamers like Yamaha gasoline our spirit and allow us to speed up our insights instantly on the sphere,” says Alessio Lorusso, Founder & CEO of Roboze. “We’re able to mark an additional step in 3D printing for the manufacturing of motorsport parts.”
We’ll regulate how this collaboration progresses, and the way Monster Yamaha advantages from the partnership. That is an thrilling time within the racing area, and it’s wonderful how prevalent 3D printing/additive manufacturing is turning into on this world.
