Conflux Technology developing AM heat exchangers with race car manufacturer Dallara

January 4, 2022

Conflux Technology, Geelong, Australia, reports that it is developing additively manufactured heat exchangers for Italian race car manufacturer, Dallara Automobili, which are scheduled for delivery in February 2022.

Dallara is a contract builder for motorsport categories across the globe. The company is also the sole manufacturer of racing cars for the Indycar, Indy Lights, Formula 2, GP3 and Super Formula Championships. Dallara produces cars for endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Daytona. It also deals with cars with electric engines such as the Formula E.

Conflux Technology began in the world of F1 engineering, where the company’s founder & CEO, Michael Fuller, transformed heat exchanger designs and performance outcomes. “Conflux heat exchangers derive their performance from highly complex geometries that make use of the inherent freedoms afforded by Additive Manufacturing,” stated Fuller.

“Dallara set us an initial challenge to produce small heat exchangers that meet stringent performance, quality and cost targets. To achieve this, our engineers are working alongside Dallara personnel with the ultimate aim to improve fundamental efficiencies in the automotive and motorsport sector,” added Fuller.
