Seminar on RP/RM technologies in Motorsports (UK) will take place at the University of Derby, UK, on September 11th.

The Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Association (RPMA) will hold a Seminar based on the use of Rapid Prototyping/Rapid Manufacturing technologies in Motorsports. Mr. Giampiero Testoni, Co-Founder and Managing Director of CRP Racing (CRP Technology's Racing Department), will present a paper about "Rapid Manufacturing applications on Racing Engine: Reed Valve made by flexible WINDFORM FX and SLS Technology".

CRP Technology and CRP Racing would like to thank Mr. Graham Tromans for the kind invitation.

On November 5th-6th, it will be the turn of the Global Motorsport Congress at Koln in Germany.

For the 2007 edition, the speaker will be the Ing. Gabriele Tredozi -former CRP Racing Special Projects Technical Director and former F1 Minardi and Scuderia Toro Rosso Technical Director. He will talk about the optimization of the lubrication system for a dry sump F1 gearbox, done by experimental method using Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Casting technologies. The chosen method is the optimization of the internal volume and the flow rate balance of the various Gearbox oil pick up, by the means of the best manufacturing technology (Rapid Casting) in order to leave the maximum freedom to the geometry design for the internal box dimensions.

In December there will be two important events: Euro U-Rapid and Euromold, one after the other and both in Germany.

The Euro-uRapid 2007, International User's Conference & Exhibition on Rapid Prototyping & Rapid Tooling & Rapid Manufacturing will take place in Frankfurt on December 3rd-4th. CRP Racing will present a paper entitled "Rapid Manufacturing for highly stressed fibre-reinforced plastic parts - case study: new examples for Motorbikes and other High-tech applications". The focus will be the end-users' advantages as well as all the benefits coming from the use of WINDFORM material.

Our special thanks go to Dr. Rudolf Meyer for the kind invitation.

Following that conference, from Friday 5 December until Saturday 8 December, CRP Technology will attend the 14th edition of Euromold (World Fair for Moldmaking and Tooling, Design and Application Development) at Frankfurt in Germany. CRP will have a booth (Hall 8) in collaboration with Amber Composites Ltd -a leading supplier and manufacturer to the composite, tooling and adhesive market- that is the official distributor of WINDFORM in the UK. A great opportunity to exhibit the latest products and to confirm new partnerships around the world.
