The collaboration between the Innoptus Solar Team and Virtek shows how advanced technology can solve challenges in high‑pressure environments. With tight timelines and the need for precise composite layups, the team used Virtek IRIS™ 3D to streamline production, saving time and improving accuracy. Its fast integration and ease of use helped them shift quickly from manual processes to a digital workflow.
By adopting IRIS™ 3D, the team reduced errors, optimized resources, and focused more on innovation - key to staying competitive with international solar racing. Their success demonstrates how adaptable, tech‑driven solutions support green energy initiatives and set new standards for efficiency in sustainable automotive engineering.
"Integrating the laser projection system into our process was incredibly easy—just 1–2 days to get it up and running. Even with a large 6.5‑meter piece and limited reflection points, the setup was smooth, and everyone commented on how simple it was to use. The precision for small parts and millimeter‑level corrections was spot‑on. Best of all, we saved an entire week per car—huge time savings!"
— Alexander Nieto Rodriguez, Production Engineer
This year, the team faced a unique challenge: the
competition was moved up by two months, cutting
their preparation time by 20%.
