FROM THE PROTOTYPES DIRECTLY TO THE FINAL PRODUCT!
Develop and produce high-speed racing cars at low cost
In the course of a final project of the PTHL-Lienz there was cooperation with the CNC-Academy. In this final project, a team of 4 students had the task of developing and producing a remote-controlled, 70 km / h fast RC car (remote-controlled racing car). The project team included Matthias Umfahrer, an RC specialist - Austrian youth champion and Carinthian vice-champion. The special task was not only to design the car, but also to convert it to an electric drive (so sustainability is an issue in this area too!). For insiders: The basis was a Mugen MBX7.
The dual training system, which is also successful in Austria, provides the ideal basis for this: on the one hand, apprenticeship in the company, on the other hand, accompanying vocational school. But it is precisely in highly specialized, technical job profiles that this system reaches its limits - from a technological and financial point of view. Here the CNC Academy, as a partner to the vocational school on the one hand and to the company as a teacher on the other hand, offers itself as a practice-oriented learning location.
A large number of parts were printed with the EVO-lizer and installed 1: 1!
With the help of the EVO-lizer, which was available to the students in the CNC Academy, a lot of parts were printed and tested. But not only that: due to the high strength and extreme material properties, numerous printed parts have been used and have not been replaced by CNC-milled parts (as initially planned). This shows and proves how great the quality of the printed parts of an EVO-lizer is!
3D printing is the technology of the hour and essential for training young people to be prepared for the needs of the future!

A project of this size was only possible in such a short time with the EVO-lizer!
It was only possible to realize this project by using the EVO-lizer for 3D printing! In just 10 weeks in the CNC Academy, the constructive and mechanical work was implemented and carried out to such an extent that the remaining mechanical parts could be manufactured in the PHTL Lienz. In short: enormous time and cost savings formed the basis for a team at an HTL to carry out a project in a future-oriented manner that corresponds to absolute high-end standards!
The use of the EVO-lizer in the CNC Academy!
The CNC Academy uses an EVO-lizer for training - the EVO-lizer has become an indispensable part and is continuously used in the prototype phase. As a result, parts can be produced much faster but also much more cheaply and can then be tested.
In addition, due to their high quality, the printed plastic parts take on tasks that were previously reserved for milled or turned parts. In this way, printed parts can be combined with conventionally manufactured parts, whereby the advantages of adding and subtracting technology can be ideally combined.
The CNC Academy - a bridge in high technology!
A project that is out of the ordinary was implemented by a team from the Private Technical Higher Education Institute (PTHL) in Lienz with the help of the EVO-lizer. There was cooperation with the Greifenburg CNC Academy. The CNC Academy conducts cross-company training for employees from technology-oriented companies who have specific tasks in the field of CNC production. For this purpose, individual CNC training courses are developed according to the company's precise target definitions (mainly as practical training) - for lifelong and part-time learning.
The dual training system, which is successful in Austria, provides an ideal basis for this: on the one hand, apprenticeship in the company, on the other hand, through the accompanying vocational school. But it is precisely in highly specialized, technical professions that this system reaches its limits from a technological and financial point of view. Here the CNC Academy offers itself as a partner to the vocational school on the one hand and as a practice-oriented learning location to the company as a teacher on the other.
