Don Schumacher Racing joins a growing list of Stratasys
customers using additive manufacturing to become more competitive
in high-performance environments – including auto sports, yacht
racing, aerospace and competitive winter games. FDM is ideally
suited to meet the demands of complex, high requirement racing – as
teams capitalize on 3D printing to accelerate design iterations,
workflows and final part production.
Don Schumacher Motorsports, the production arm of Don Schumacher
Racing, is currently leveraging both the Stratasys Fortus® 450mc™
3D Printer and F370™ 3D Printer, and high-performance
materials.
“With Stratasys 3D printing in place, anytime a crew chief has
an idea for a project or concept part, we can design it, print it
out, and test fit and function rapidly at a low cost – whether it’s
a prototype or final part,” said Scott Cutler, Senior Manufacturing
Engineer, Don Schumacher Motorsports. “Thanks to 3D printing, we’re
able to be more innovative – which equals consistent performance on
the track.”
Key applications for both Stratasys machines within Don
Schumacher Motorsports include: chassis or weldment fixturing,
prototype development, final design proof-of-concept, and finished
ultralight usable components. The team leverages the broad array of
materials to quickly produce parts at the highest level of
tolerance the environment demands. The printers are already fully
integrated into the team’s fabrication shop for its Top Fuel, Funny
Car, and Factory Stock teams.
“Competitive motorsports demand technology that can not only
handle the design complexity of these environments, but also
rapidly create prototypes and parts to withstand the
high-performance requirements of racing,” said Pat Carey, Senior
Vice President at Stratasys. “Don Schumacher Racing is a great
example of the power of additive manufacturing at work – and we’re
excited to work alongside the team and tackle the most extreme
challenges across their production environment.”
