This year's double victory at the 24 hours of Le Mans was without doubt the preliminary highlight for the LMP1 team of Porsche Motorsport since the return to the World Endurance Championship 2014. This quick success is the result of long-standing experience and most of all consistent and continuous further development of the Porsche 919 Hybrid. While the racing team largely cooperates with suppliers here, the technology partnership with DMG MORI has long and lastingly influenced the internal possibilities in production as well. Because in order to produce components for the racing cars more flexibly and quickly, Porsche Motorsport has built its own and ultra-modern component production as new core competence. A DMU 65 monoBLOCK and a CTX beta 800 form the machine basis. The production process is complemented by using the DMG MORI process chain: Constructing and programming with Siemens NX CAD/CAM, followed by a 1:1 simulation of the NC program in the DMG MORI Virtual Machine.
DMG MORI has annually held the “Cutting Dream Contest” since 2004 with the aim of improving and exchanging technologies and techniques throughout the machining industry. All entries were created with machine tools and judged in the following four categories: Industrial Parts Machining, Prototype & Test Cut machining, Modeling (Free Form Machining), and Academic Research.
