About Project

When the project involves a million-dollar hypercar, “close enough” is never enough. FacFox provides the digital precision required for full-body conversions that maintain factory aerodynamics while pushing aesthetic boundaries.

This project showcases a complete body redesign. Unlike traditional manual sculpting, our 3D scanning services in China allowed us to capture the Ferrari鈥檚 complex mid-engine architecture in a high-fidelity digital environment. This ensured that every new vent, wing, and duct aligned perfectly with the original mounting points and cooling intakes.

The large-scale components you see鈥攖he front fascia, rear diffuser, and integrated wing鈥攚ere prototyped using SLA 3D printing. By printing these massive sections in industrial-grade resins, the workshop can:

  • Audit Surface Continuity: Ensure the “flow” of the car remains consistent from nose to tail.
  • Verify Functional Clearances: Test active aero components and suspension travel before committing to expensive carbon fiber molds.
  • Minimize Post-Processing: The smooth finish of our SLA resins significantly reduces the labor hours needed for sanding and surfacing.

At FacFox, we don’t just print parts; we provide the blueprint for automotive perfection.

Solution

  • Step 1: The entire vehicle chassis was digitized using high-speed 3D laser scanners at our China facility to create a 1:1 master CAD file.
  • Step 2: New aerodynamic body panels were engineered over the digital chassis to ensure perfect integration with factory cooling and structural points.
  • Step 3: The massive body components were segmented digitally to fit the build plates of our industrial SLA 3D printers.
  • Step 4: Each section was printed using high-performance, dimensionally stable resins to prevent warping over large surface areas.
  • Step 5: The printed segments was assembled and temporarily secured to the vehicle using specialized automotive adhesives and masking for fitment auditing.
  • Step 6: The interface between the 3D-printed parts and the OEM body was refined by technicians to achieve sub-millimeter gap tolerances.
  • Step 7: These finalized 3D-printed assemblies were treated as the master plugs for the creation of high-temperature carbon fiber production molds.
