January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Stratasys Ltd. and Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) announce a 5-year extension of their current working agreement that spans more than 20 years. The extension of its longstanding partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing, a known NASCAR team, cements Stratasys’ role as its partner in additive manufacturing.
The announcement coincides with Stratasys’ recent agreement with NASCAR to become the “Official 3D Printing Partner of NASCAR”.
“Our partnership with Stratasys has allowed us to dramatically accelerate part production and testing, which has been critical to our success,” says Mark Bringle, managing director, Technical Partnerships, Joe Gibbs Racing. “Stratasys has been an invaluable partner for over two decades, providing us with cutting-edge 3D printing solutions that drive our competitive edge on the track. This new 5-year extension ensures we continue pushing the limits of innovation in motorsports.”
For more than two decades, Stratasys’ advanced additive manufacturing technologies have enabled Joe Gibbs Racing to advance in the NASCAR competition, the companies report. JGR uses Stratasys’ 3D printing solutions to enhance performance through faster prototyping, rapid production of custom parts, and advanced material usage, according to Stratasys. Using industrial systems like the Fortus 450mc and F370 CR printers with high-performance materials such as Nylon-CF10, Joe Gibbs Racing has been able to gain competitive advantages on the track, Stratasys notes.
“Our partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing showcases the impact of additive manufacturing in motorsports,” said Rich Garrity, chief commercial business officer at Stratasys. “We're thrilled to continue this collaboration for the next five years, helping JGR push the boundaries of performance with our innovative 3D printing solutions.”
