UltiMaker S Series | Briggs Automotive Company

Briggs Automotive Company (BAC), the renowned British supercar manufacturer behind the Mono and Mono R, has integrated UltiMaker S Series 3D printers into their production and prototyping workflow. With over 44 custom components 3D printed on-site, BAC has transformed its design process, cutting costs and increasing the speed of production using industrial-grade materials like carbon fiber–reinforced nylon.

By leveraging the full UltiMaker ecosystem—including Digital Factory, open-material compatibility, and integrated slicing—BAC’s engineering team can prototype and manufacture lightweight, structurally sound components such as air inlet runners, mirror arms, and light surrounds. With UltiMaker’s precision and flexibility, BAC gains critical design freedom while maintaining the strength and performance required of parts used at speeds exceeding 270 km/h.

Highlights from BAC’s Use of UltiMaker S Series

• 44+ custom 3D printed parts: Including structural engine components, mirror mounts, and light surrounds
• Cost reductions: Mirror arms costing £400 when machined now printed for just £90
• Production-ready prototypes: Parts printed in Covestro’s carbon fiber–reinforced nylon (Novamid CF10)
• Digital Factory integration: Remote monitoring, slicing, maintenance tracking, and version control
• Local support: Helped BAC adopt and scale 3D printing across R&D and production workflows

"The UltiMaker ecosystem allows us to bring every element of our production together. From material selection to printer management, it gives us total control and confidence in the quality of our parts." – Ian Briggs, Design Director and Co-founder, BAC

From rapid prototyping to functional end-use parts, the UltiMaker S Series gives BAC the power to move fast, customize freely, and produce precisely—all while maintaining the high-performance standards expected of a world-class supercar brand.
