NASCAR signs new deal with Stratasys

Long-term partnership announced

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) has announced a new long-term partnership with Stratasys, who will be joining as the Official 3D Printing Partner of the racing series. Stratasys 3D printing technology will be used by NASCAR for the design and production of parts and tools across NASCAR. The partnership will also see various Stratasys technologies at the upcoming NASCAR state-of-the-art 3D printing lab which will be at the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord, North Carolina. 

Stratasys will also be increasing the existing FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) capabilities within the NASCAR R&D center, allowing for larger-scale part production, and also will see the Stratasys NEO stereolithography (SL) integrated in NASCAR, all of which will help with aerodynamic testing, prototyping and production parts with high-precision tooling, enhancing the design and manufacturing flexibility.

John Probst, Executive Vice President, Chief Racing Development Officer at NASCAR, commented,

“Partnering with Stratasys allows NASCAR to push the boundaries of performance and accuracy like never before. 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.”

Rich Garrity, Chief Business Unit Officer at Stratasys, said,

“Our partnership with NASCAR allows Stratasys to showcase the unique advantages of 3D printing in motorsports. 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.”
