The official partnership cements Stratasys' role as a critical
technology provider for NASCAR, with a new state-of-the-art 3D
printing lab set to open at the NASCAR Research & Development
Center in Concord, North Carolina. The facility features multiple
Stratasys technologies, including F370, 450mc, F900 (FDM printers)
and a NEO800 (SL printer) to support research and development,
parts production, and tooling for NASCAR’s three national series.
NASCAR engineers will benefit from the agility of 3D printing,
which allows for faster design cycles and on-demand production of
custom components, keeping them at the cutting edge of performance
and safety.
“Partnering with Stratasys allows NASCAR to push the boundaries
of performance and accuracy like never before,” said John Probst,
Executive Vice President, Chief Racing Development Officer at
NASCAR. “Their 3D printing technology empowers us to quickly
iterate and optimize components, ensuring that our staff have the
best possible machines to stay ahead in this high-stakes
environment. Stratasys has proven to be a valuable partner, and
this agreement represents our commitment to staying at the
forefront of motorsports innovation.”
As part of the expanded partnership, Stratasys will increase the
existing FDM® (Fused Deposition Modeling) capabilities within the
NASCAR R&D center, allowing for larger-scale part production.
In addition to FDM technology, NASCAR will now integrate Stratasys
NEO® stereolithography (SL). These technologies will support a
variety of applications, from aerodynamic testing, prototyping and
production parts with high-precision tooling, further enhancing the
design and manufacturing flexibility that 3D printing brings to the
sport.
Engineers at NASCAR worked with Stratasys on solutions for
NASCAR Cup Series cars, with every vehicle on the track currently
using 3D printed parts. For example, working with Stratasys Direct
Manufacturing for on-demand production parts using the H350 SAF
printer with plant-based Nylon11 material to produce a cold air
inlet vent at the top center of the windshield to force air into
the car to cool the driver. FDM printers used in the NASCAR R&D
Center using ULTEM® 9085 black material to produce a NACA duct
located on the lower engine panel, to vent hot air out from the
engine bay.
“Our partnership with NASCAR allows Stratasys to showcase the
unique advantages of 3D printing in motorsports,” said Rich
Garrity, Chief Business Unit Officer at Stratasys. “From on-demand
manufacturing of custom components to speeding up the design cycle,
we’re helping NASCAR with faster production times and enhanced part
performance. Furthermore, our work in high-performance environments
like NASCAR spurs innovation in the production of commercial
vehicles, demonstrating the broader impact of additive
manufacturing across the automotive industry.”
