Stratasys unveiled a new collaboration agreement with Andretti Autosport. The top performer in IndyCar, Indy Lights, Rallycross and Formula E aims to leverage advanced FDM technology and materials to accelerate design and development of the team’s diverse racing platforms.
“We have been looking for the right partner to add 3D capability to our design and development activities for a while now,” said Andretti Autosport COO Rob Edwards. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to establish a relationship with the industry leader, Stratasys. Since the machines were commissioned, they have been operating at capacity and we look forward to seeing the benefits of our expanded capability on the race-track in 2019.”
Andretti joins Stratasys customers competing across a wide range of high performance sports – from professional auto racing and motor cross to the winter games – capitalizing on 3D printing to accelerate design iterations, workflows and final part production. Leveraging the technology to become significantly more competitive on the track, Andretti will advance both design and production cycles using both the Stratasys F370™ and Fortus® 450mc™ 3D Printers.
“We are excited to join the Andretti Autosport family and look forward to working together in the coming years,” said Pat Carey, Senior Vice President at Stratasys. “We see that Stratasys High Performance FDM solutions are being increasingly adopted by the world’s top motorsports teams and manufacturers. We believe that our highly reliable engineering grade printers and wide choice of high-performance materials are the perfect fit for the extreme challenges our motorsport customers face.”
