Partnership with Hamburg’s Formula Student Team
We are excited to announce a special partnership: Reents Technologies GmbH is now an official sponsor of HAWKS Racing e.V., the Formula Student team from Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg).
What Is Formula Student?
Formula Student is the world’s largest student engineering competition. University teams design and manufacture a single-seat racing vehicle each year, which is evaluated across multiple disciplines: engineering design, cost analysis, business plan, and dynamic driving tests.
For the students, it is far more than a competition. They gain hands-on experience in design, manufacturing, organization, and project management — skills that cannot be taught in any lecture hall.
Our Support
As a 3D printing service provider, we contribute our expertise in additive manufacturing, CAD development, and reverse engineering. Specifically, we support HAWKS Racing with:
Large-Format 3D Printing
Our print capacities enable the manufacture of large-format components that would be complex and expensive with conventional methods. Aerodynamic elements, brackets, and functional prototypes are produced in a short time.
Lightweight Components
In motorsport, every gram counts. 3D-printed parts made from engineering plastics such as PA12 or carbon-fiber-reinforced nylon offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios.
Rapid Iteration Cycles
Formula Student thrives on fast development cycles. With our print farm, design changes can become physical parts within a single day, ready for testing.
Why We Get Involved
Supporting young engineers is close to our hearts. Today’s students are tomorrow’s designers and developers. By giving them access to professional manufacturing technology, we invest in the future of engineering.
At the same time, the collaboration with HAWKS Racing is a valuable source of inspiration for us. The creativity and drive of the students demonstrate what is possible with modern manufacturing technology.
About HAWKS Racing
HAWKS Racing e.V. was founded at HAW Hamburg and brings together students from various disciplines each year to jointly develop a competitive racing vehicle. The team is distinguished by its passion for innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Conclusion
The partnership with HAWKS Racing e.V. connects technical expertise with academic enthusiasm. We are proud to support this talented team and look forward to a successful season.
