After the five races in Rome, Paris, Monaco, Berlin, and Bern, the overall winner of the “voestalpine European Races” will be crowned at the European finale on June 22 in Bern. The trophy was specially designed and produced by voestalpine using a 3D printing technology. voestalpine is one of the technology leaders in this process, in which fine metal powder is melted and applied in layers to create highly complex components. The metal powder used for the trophy was from voestalpine’s Kapfenberg location, and 3D printing of the trophy took place at the Group’s in-house Competency Center in Düsseldorf. 3D-printed components are used, for example, in motor racing and aerospace applications and exemplify the voestalpine Group’s powers of innovation. The new trophy is made of 5,500 metal layers, each half the thickness of a human hair. Weighing 156 g and measuring 25 cm in height, it is a genuinely lightweight component.
