SEMA Garage and BigRep America announced a new partnership that will give SEMA members in North America access to their newly offered large-format 3D printing services. Through this collaboration, the SEMA Garage facility in Diamond Bar, CA, will serve as the hub for these services, enabling members to produce parts ranging from early-stage prototypes to functional components using BigRep’s catalog of validated 3D printing filaments.
SEMA Garage is the product development and technology resource center of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), serving member companies in the automotive specialty equipment industry. It offers advanced vehicle testing, 3D scanning, OEM data, and manufacturing services to support members’ product development, research, and compliance needs.
BigRep brings deep roots in the automotive sector to this partnership. The company has worked with major automotive OEMs, including Ford, and has supported aftermarket shops nationwide in producing custom parts, interior components, and fabrication tooling. BigRep technology has also made its way into motorsports through a collaboration with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB of the NASCAR Cup Series, where large-format printing has been used to develop large-scale tooling, aerodynamic components, and race-ready parts.
"We couldn’t be more excited about this partnership with SEMA Garage. It's a meaningful step forward in how we bring large-format additive manufacturing to the automotive industry in North America. The automotive sector has always been at the heart of what we do, and by working directly with SEMA Garage, we're making it easier than ever for their members to tap into that technology for real large-scale applications,” says Jeff Olson, president, BigRep America.
“SEMA Garage is thrilled to partner with BigRep to bring large-format rapid prototyping into our Product Development service lineup.
