CRP Racing has applied the CRP ULTRArapid casting technology to a 125cc racing motorbike engine to enable seven different drawings and castings to be tested and validated in only ten months.
CRP Racing has had just one goal during the last ten months: the Honda two-stroke 125cc engine development. This engine is completely new; it has been designed, tested and manufactured by CRP Racing and CRP Technology staff.
The latest major step forward that CRP's R&D Department suggested to CRP Racing is the new ULTRArapid casting technology for manufacturing the latest cylinder evolution.
In fact CRP Racing is studying a new engine and drawings need to be continuously updated - as does the cylinder casting. With the ULTRArapid casting technology, CRP Racing been able to test and validate seven different drawings and castings in only ten months - which would have been vastly expensive and wasteful of resources to achieve using any conventional technologies.
CRP says the process therefore 'has no limits' from a rapid manufacturing point of view.
The complete case study is still under strict confidentiality agreement with CRP Racing, but it will be published as soon as possible. We will bring it to you on MachineBuilding.net as soon as possible after it is published.
