Angelelli Automobili introduces additively manufactured Ducati Panigale V4 motorcycle frame
November 5, 2024
Angelelli Automobili, based in Rome, Italy, will showcase its additively manufactured Titan-Alu Panigale V4 motorbike frame, designed for the Ducati Panigale V4, at the EICMA Motorcycle Show taking place November 5-10, 2024, at Fiera Milano, Milan, Italy. The frame, based on a 2020 design by Davide Angelelli, was optimised for AM using the company’s proprietary Alien Mesh Design software and manufactured by WEAREAM based in Brescia.
“This ground-breaking advancement represents the peak of our Additive Manufacturing technology, first pioneered in 2018, and now fully ready to tackle every challenge in both the automotive and motorcycle motorsport sectors,” Davide Angelelli stated in a LinkedIn post.
Each component of the Ducati Panigale V4 frame was engineered to be a single, seamless component, eliminating the need for molds, resins, welds, or CNC machining.
Angelelli Automobili credits these developments to its customisable algorithms which can be tailored for specific applications, enabling the customisation vital for luxury vehicles, limited-production series and one-of-a-kind builds.
“In 2018, we achieved a milestone by creating the world’s first car chassis entirely via Additive Manufacturing,” Angelelli added. “Now, we proudly continue this legacy, delivering a technology set to redefine motorsport performance and innovation.”
