CAM² is one of the sponsors of Chalmers Formula Student, the project where 50 students spend a year designing and building an open-wheel racing car, to compete against teams from technical universities from all over the world.
In the 2025 edition of Chalmers Formula Student, CAM2 and the powder supplier Höganäs AB collaborated to produce metal parts for the car using additive manufacturing. CAM2 also provided the infrastructure and resources for the printing process.
The components produced include brake calipers and uprights, the part that connects the wheel suspension to the wheel. The material used is an aluminum alloy called AlSi10Mg.
Another component produced is the set of triangles, which is printed using the newly developed high-strength aluminum alloy Al-HS1. This material was developed within CAM2 in collaboration with Höganäs.
