We are proud to announce the beginning of our collaboration with UniBo Motorsport, the official Formula SAE team of the University of Bologna.
Becoming an official sponsor of such a prestigious project is an important milestone for 3D Tech. It reflects our commitment to supporting innovation, engineering excellence and the next generation of automotive professionals through advanced manufacturing technologies and industrial 3D printing.
Formula SAE, also known in Europe as Formula Student, is one of the world’s most prestigious educational engineering competitions. Every year, university teams from across the globe design, manufacture and race a prototype formula-style race car, applying real-world engineering principles in a highly competitive environment.
Unlike traditional academic projects, Formula SAE requires students to manage the complete product development cycle. From concept design and structural analysis to manufacturing, electronics, software development, testing, validation and project management, every aspect of a professional motorsport program is recreated within the team.
The competition evaluates not only vehicle performance on the track, but also engineering design, manufacturing quality, cost analysis and business presentation, making Formula SAE one of the most effective pathways into the international motorsport and automotive industries.
Founded in 2009, UniBo Motorsport is the official racing team of the University of Bologna. Today, it brings together hundreds of students from different engineering and scientific disciplines, working as a professional motorsport organization dedicated to developing Formula SAE and MotoStudent prototypes.
Over the years, the team has established itself as one of Italy’s leading university motorsport programs, combining technical innovation, research and practical engineering experience.
Beyond its educational value, UniBo Motorsport has built a strong network of collaborations with some of the most respected companies in the automotive, motorsport and advanced manufacturing industries. Becoming part of this ecosystem of technological excellence is a source of great pride for us and represents an important recognition of the expertise that 3D Tech brings to industrial engineering and additive manufacturing.
Modern motorsport is driven by continuous innovation and rapid development cycles. Every component can undergo multiple design iterations before reaching its final configuration, making speed and flexibility essential competitive advantages.
This is where industrial 3D printing and additive manufacturing have become fundamental technologies.
Rapid prototyping allows engineering teams to manufacture functional components, assembly fixtures, testing tools, aerodynamic prototypes and validation parts in a fraction of the time required by conventional manufacturing processes.
By combining advanced engineering with high-performance technical polymers, teams can quickly evaluate new concepts, optimize designs and reduce development time while maintaining high dimensional accuracy and excellent mechanical properties.
As an official sponsor, 3D Tech will contribute its expertise in industrial 3D printing, functional prototyping and advanced polymer manufacturing to support the development of future UniBo Motorsport prototypes.
Using professional additive manufacturing technologies and engineering-grade materials, we will produce functional prototypes and technical components that will assist the team during design validation, fit verification, functional testing and product development.
Our objective is to accelerate the engineering process, allowing ideas to move from digital design to physical validation in the shortest possible time while maintaining the high quality standards required by motorsport applications.
We strongly believe that collaboration between universities and industry is one of the key drivers of technological innovation.
Supporting UniBo Motorsport means investing in future engineers, advanced manufacturing and the continuous development of technologies that often find applications far beyond the racetrack.
We are excited to become part of the UniBo Motorsport family and look forward to contributing to the team’s future achievements throughout the upcoming Formula SAE season.
The journey begins immediately with one of the most prestigious events on the Formula SAE calendar. The team’s next challenge will take place at Formula Student Austria, hosted at the legendary Red Bull Ring in Spielberg from 26 to 30 July 2026. Widely recognized as one of the most iconic motorsport venues in the world and home to numerous international racing championships, the Red Bull Ring provides the perfect stage for university teams to showcase months of engineering, innovation and teamwork. We are proud to support UniBo Motorsport as they prepare to compete on such a prestigious circuit.
We wish the entire team every success for the challenges ahead.
Over the past few months, we have been working quietly behind the scenes on one of the most important transformations since the foundation of 3D Tech.
New engineering projects, strategic partnerships and increasingly complex technical activities are shaping the future of our company. What may have seemed like a period of silence has actually been a time of continuous growth, investment and preparation for the next stage of our journey.
Today, we are excited to share an important milestone.
As our company continues to grow, so do the complexity and scale of the projects we undertake. Our focus is increasingly directed towards industrial applications, advanced engineering, and the development of high-performance technical solutions.
To support this evolution, we have made an important strategic decision.
Starting this month, all 3D Tech services will be dedicated exclusively to businesses and professional customers.
This decision has been carefully considered and reflects our commitment to concentrating our resources, expertise and production capacity on increasingly demanding industrial projects, long-term collaborations and high-value engineering services.
Our mission has always been to transform ideas into functional engineering solutions.
From industrial 3D printing and rapid prototyping to CAD design, reverse engineering, technical consulting and advanced polymer manufacturing, we continue to expand our capabilities to meet the requirements of companies operating in sectors where precision, reliability and innovation are essential.
Working exclusively with businesses allows us to dedicate more time to research and development, optimize production workflows, and provide a higher level of technical support throughout every stage of product development.
Although our future is now focused entirely on the B2B market, we would like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to all the private customers who have placed their trust in us over the years.
From the very beginning of our journey, many individuals chose 3D Tech for their ideas, personal projects, prototypes and creative challenges. Every order, every conversation and every opportunity to solve a new problem helped us gain valuable experience, refine our manufacturing processes and continuously improve the quality of our services.
Some projects were simple, others surprisingly complex, but each one contributed to shaping who we are today. They allowed us to experiment with new materials, optimize production techniques and develop the engineering mindset that now defines our company.
As our capabilities expanded, so did the nature of the work entrusted to us. What started with individual requests gradually evolved into collaborations with companies requiring advanced engineering support, functional prototyping, industrial 3D printing, reverse engineering and technical consulting. This natural evolution has ultimately led us to specialize exclusively in serving businesses and professionals.
This decision is therefore not a departure from our past, but the result of the path we have travelled together. Without the support, enthusiasm and trust of our early customers, this growth would not have been possible.
To everyone who has been part of this journey—whether through a single project or years of collaboration—we extend our deepest thanks. Your confidence has been instrumental in building the company that 3D Tech is today, and we will always be grateful for the role you played in our story.
This is not the finish line—it is the beginning of a new chapter.
In the coming months we will share exciting new projects, strategic collaborations, innovative manufacturing technologies and engineering developments that will define the future of 3D Tech.
Our commitment remains the same: delivering high-quality engineering solutions through innovation, advanced manufacturing and technical expertise.
The best is yet to come.
