The 2021 Alfa Romeo F1 race car, the C41, takes to the track with 304 additively manufactured metal parts, more than doubling the number from 2020’s C39 race car.
22% of the 304 parts are made from Ti6Al4V grade23, 36% from Scalmalloy, 40% from AlSi10Mg and 2% in stainless steel. The total combined weight of those parts is approximately 14.86 kg. Cost savings of up to 90% per part, compared with traditionally manufactured parts, represent a great benefit for Sauber Motorsport AG, the Swiss company that manages and operates the Alfa Romeo Racing team, allowing to take a significant step forward in compliance with the budget limits required by the FIA.
