Classic cars & motorsport at a glance

Which material holds up in a vehicle?

In a vehicle, parts face heat, UV light, vibration, oil and fuel. For interiors and trims, ASA, ABS or PC-ABS are suitable – ASA is also UV- and weather-resistant. In the engine bay you need more temperature reserve, such as PA12-CF, PC or heat-resistant resins. Where plastic reaches its limits, we manufacture in stainless steel or titanium.

For classic cars we faithfully reconstruct parts that are no longer available using 3D scanning. In motorsport every gram counts: topology-optimised brackets and lightweight parts save weight at the same strength – as with the parts for the Hessler Rallye Team.

FAQ

FAQ about classic cars & motorsport

Can classic car parts be faithfully replicated?

Yes. With 3D scanning we capture even complex shapes and reconstruct a CAD model from them.

Which materials hold up in the engine bay?

Depending on the temperature e.g. PA12-CF, PC or heat-resistant resins – metal for high temperatures.
