Rapid Prototyping Wind Tunnel Models

Malcolm Nicholls Limited (MNL) has been producing wind tunnel models since its inception 40 plus years ago. The advancement of 3D printing and secondary processes has led to very specific wind tunnel model types as follows:

Low-speed wind tunnel models typically for architecture purposes with integrated tubing dramatically simplify the process of hooking up the model to the pressure sensors within the tunnel.

High-speed wind-tunnel models made from very stiff materials are excellent for minimising distortion and perfectly mimicking carbon fibre components – typical uses are within motor sport aerospace and aviation.
