Case Study: AP Racing wins new business and speeds prototyping with Stratasys J750 3D printing

AP Racing wins new business and cuts prototype turnaround to 24 hours with Stratasys

AP Racing, a UK-based automotive manufacturer of performance brake and clutch systems, faced the challenge of needing to produce highly detailed and accurate multi-color prototypes and advanced tools to showcase complex designs to clients in a competitive market. To set itself apart and win new business, it turned to vendor Stratasys and implemented the Stratasys J750 3D printer.

The solution from Stratasys enabled AP Racing to 3D print vivid, multi-material models of their finite element analysis plots, which instantly convinced a prominent F1 client and secured an order. The Stratasys J750 also dramatically reduced prototype production time from weeks to 24 hours, allowed for the creation of functional threads for more accurate testing, and produced customized tools at a fraction of the cost, such as a laser etch fixture that cost only £100.
