Team Penske: Chasing Victory With a Stratasys Neo 800 3D Printer

by | Jan 4, 2023

Summary

Utilizing a Stratasys stereolithography-based 3D printer, IndyCar Racing’s Team Penske can better test aerodynamics with 3D-printed IndyCar parts. This latest move further cements additive manufacturing as a new standard in motorsports competition.

3D printer manufacturer Stratasys announced that Team Penske, a leading motorsports company has purchased a new Stratasys Neo® 800 3D printer.

Team Penske’s first Stratasys stereolithography-based 3D printer will be employed to quickly print scale model parts for aerodynamic testing. Matt Gimbel, Production Manager at Team Penske said, “As additive manufacturing’s applications continue evolving in racing, Stratasys continues to help us rapidly improve race performance ahead of the competition so we can turn ideas into parts and get them onto the racetrack faster than ever before and with greater reliability than ever before.”

“We can now make parts in ways not possible through traditional manufacturing,” added Gimbel.

ASA Filament vs. ABS: Which Should You Use for Outdoor and UV-Exposed Parts?

by |

ABS is the default for functional 3D printing, but it has one fatal flaw outdoors: UV exposure breaks it down. ASA filament was engineered to fix that. It matches ABS on mechanical properties, prints easier in real-world setups, and holds up in sunlight where ABS does not. Here’s the chemistry, the spec comparison, and when each material is the right pick for your application.
