The UMD racing team at the University of Magdeburg successfully tested our dichtol AM sealant under racing conditions.
Additively manufactured components for the vehicle cooling system of a Formula prototype were sealed with our product and thus made waterproof. Many components of the UMD-Racing racing car are dependent on complex geometries. This is why the FDM process is often the most cost-effective way to produce components. However, as process-related defects cannot be 100 per cent avoided in additive manufacturing, impregnation was needed, as one of the most important requirements for the cooling system is absolute impermeability. The first tests have already shown that our product guarantees reliable sealing of the sensor holder made of ASA filament, which also fulfils the high demands placed on the cooling system. Our sealant can be used universally and is suitable for sealing all additively manufactured components in the cooling system. In addition to UMD Racing, at least four other Form Student teams are using dichtol!
