Conflux Technology Develops 3D-Printed Heat Exchangers for High-Performance Supercars
Conflux Technology, founded in 2015 by former F1 engineer Michael Fuller in Geelong, Australia, specializes in 3D-printed heat exchangers. By 2025, the company announced significant advancements through collaborations with automotive manufacturers, including a project with Dutch firm Donkervoort for its P24 RS supercar, achieving a weight reduction from 16kg to 1.4kg per water charge air cooler.
Conflux's technology utilizes metal additive manufacturing to create complex geometries, enhancing cooling efficiency. A six-year partnership with Pagani also resulted in a hypercar transmission that is 30% more efficient than conventional designs. Conflux aims to expand into other sectors such as aerospace and defense while recently opening a facility in Sheffield, UK, to support European demand and enhance local production capabilities.
