Case History
01.
Development
Viraver faced a major challenge: to develop polycarbonate solutions for a GT3 racing car from a prestigious Italian car manufacturer. The project required strict parameters to be respected and had to combine lightness, excellent optical quality for perfect visibility even in extreme conditions in compliance with the parameters of the FIA regulation.
Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of the materials and technologies used, we have created a cutting-edge solution, combining high performance and safety, for the racing automotive sector.

Sviluppo
Il nuovo corso di design che sta interessando il mondo dell’automobile vede in molti casi l’esasperazione di linee e di forme che interessano i prototipi che sono la fonte di ispirazione per le vetture del futuro. Alcuni elementi diventano così parti attive del disegno e questo non fa eccezione per la parti in vetro, che si ergono ad elemento di design funzionale e fortemente caratterizzante della linea. Ne risulta quindi la continuità delle parti trasparenti, l’aumento delle superfici e la richiesta di curvature dei vetri sempre più complesse, questo nel rispetto dei requisiti ottici ed estetici di rigore nel mondo automobilistico.

Progettazione
Le tecnologie tradizionali non consentivano di ottenere contemporaneamente questi obiettivi e Viraver si è trovata così ad affrontare una nuova sfida.
Viraver, in collaborazione con i suoi primari partener tecnologici a messo a punto delle attrezzature innovative che rivoluzionano da un lato e danno risposte dall’altro alle richieste di un mondo sempre in evoluzione, facendo tesoro anche di tutte le esperienze maturate nei vari settori nei quali tradizionalmente Viraver opera: Yacting-Architettura e Industria-Blindato e Sicurezza.
