The story of Velocity Projects

Velocity Projects is a duo of friends who said they would take matters into their own hands in the topic of RC model cars. They focused on bringing full-scale racing engineering down to RC scale.

Velocity Projects set out to improve the performance of their RC models by 3D printing tires using VarioShore TPU, after finding that off-the-shelf tires and those printed from conventional TPU failed to meet expectations. The topic of tire production came up when their model turned out to be great in tests, but tires made of ordinary TPU didn't quite manage to generate enough grip, but they couldn't buy ready-made tires in this scale.

Their new goal was to bridge the gap between realistic handling and custom fabrication, which led to intensive testing on various terrain sections of their model driving sites. 

The results were striking

Compared to regular TPU tires, the VarioShore versions delivered a dramatic performance boost, offering
