Conflux Technology, an Australian engineering company that develops 3D printed heat exchangers, has completed a full-distance endurance race with a configurable transmission oil cooler installed on a Multimatic Motorsports race car. Built using its configurable core platform, the transmission cooler was adapted to the programme’s specific boundary conditions and produced in two weeks using metal additive manufacturing. Multimatic Motorsports selected and integrated the unit for an endurance application without the cost and delay of a clean-sheet design. Multimatic Motorsports used the oil cooler in a shared water circuit, where engine coolant managed gearbox oil temperatures. In this configuration, Conflux reports the unit delivered approximately 20% higher heat rejection than the incumbe
