Yamaha MotoGP Racing – also known as Yamaha Factory Racing, is Yamaha’s official Italian-Japanese MotoGP factory team. Yamaha Motor Racing has selected Roboze, a manufacturer of high-performance 3D printers using superpolymers and composite materials, as its technology partner for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons.
Yamaha has chosen Roboze as a technology partner to help achieve the expected technical results. The Roboze ARGO 500 3D printer allows you to produce components from materials doped with carbon fiber and resistant to very high temperatures. For Yamaha’s technical team, this represents a significant improvement in working conditions, reducing weights and production times for parts while ensuring that test deadlines are met.
Roboze technology is a hybrid of advanced mechatronics, industrial automation and materials science. The company’s 3D printers can produce customized finished parts from innovative and lightweight materials capable of replacing metal parts and optimizing the motorcycle’s aerodynamics. These are key success factors in the world of MotoGP, where every element adds up to the hundredths of a second that make the difference between first and second place.
The technology is now being used globally by highly regulated industries such as aerospace, which are accelerating the validation of 3D printing applications in the Roboze ecosystem, and as a result, digitizing their manufacturing processes with cost, efficiency and environmental sustainability benefits.
