Case Study: Penske achieves faster racetrack innovation with Stratasys 3D printing

Penske turns ideas into racetrack reality faster with Stratasys

Team Penske, a premier automotive racing team, constantly seeks technological advantages to improve performance and maintain their winning legacy. Their challenge was accelerating the design and production of parts, from wind tunnel models to race-ready components, to outpace competitors. They partnered with additive manufacturing vendor Stratasys to implement their FDM and PolyJet 3D printing solutions to rapidly turn ideas into tangible parts.

The solution from Stratasys enabled Team Penske to quickly iterate designs and produce reliable parts directly for their race cars, including jigs, fixtures, and components like a carbon monoxide filter. This drastically reduced the time from concept to track, allowing the team to implement improvements faster than rivals. The president of Team Penske stated that Stratasys helps them get to the next solution quicker, providing a critical competitive edge.
