is using engine technology to help make bobsledders even faster. Not only does it 3D print these specialized plates with over 250 spikes that attach to track shoes, the plates are then plasma nitrided. This is a process where nitrogen is ionized in a vacuum at high temperature and diffuses into the steel on the plates, which makes them harder, so they withstand the weight of the athletes and repeated use. BMW uses the same technique in its motorcycles and racing engines.
