DETAILS
For Delft Hyperloop IV, Holland Composites performed precision milling of a total of 60 holes of different sizes in a carbon chassis. The component is part of SpaceX's Hyperloop competition, a competition between student teams from technical universities around the world.
Our extensive machinery includes a 5-axis CMS-Ares CNC milling machine with a working range of 5.5 x 2.5 x 2 meters. This is specially equipped for precision milling work in carbon, wood and light aluminum.
In collaboration with Delft Hyperloop IV, our milling machine experts worked through the details of the design and the operations to be performed in a short period of time. The numbers were converted into data for the milling machine, after which precision milling of the carbon part was started.
After only a few hours, the carbon chassis for Delft Hyperloop IV was ready. The 5-axis milling machine is fast and also provides an extremely refined finish, making manual finishing virtually unnecessary. Team Delft Hyperloop IV therefore had the chassis back quickly, allowing them to continue their project at full speed.
