Material
While carbon fibre composites are their final product, Vulcan Alpha's process begins with the machining of high-density foam supports. This specialised foam, carefully milled on their Mekanika Fab machine, forms the basis of their wings before being wrapped in carbon fibre materials.
Working environment
Vulcan Alpha operates from an environment equipped with a BigRep large-format 3D printer, SHINING 3D scanners and a Mekanika CNC milling machine. This configuration allows them to manage everything in-house, from initial 3D scanning and modelling through to prototyping and testing, ensuring total quality control at every stage of development.
Products
Their carbon fibre wings are single or multi-element designs, some with an innovative drag reduction system (DRS). Each prototype undergoes rigorous testing and refinement, whether it's a universal wing that can be adapted to several vehicle platforms or a specific model designed for particular makes and models of car.
Machine setup
Vulcan Alpha relies on its custom-built Mekanika Fab milling machine, specially equipped with enhanced Z-axis capability. This configuration of the Mekanika machine enables complex and deeper wing profiles to be milled, making it ideal for creating aerodynamic components.

The best craftsman's ally
The Fab is the largest in the Mekanika range. But even though it measures over three meters, its kit design means it can fit through any door and into any workshop! Read more about the features of this machine on the product page.
