Maximizing Auto Innovation: How LEGACY MOTOR CLUB Drives Performance with Large-scale AM

In the high-stakes world of professional motorsports, speed and precision aren’t limited to the racetrack—they are essential in production and testing environments as well. LEGACY MOTOR CLUB, a premier NASCAR racing team, has integrated large-format 3D printing technology, specifically BigRep's large-format solutions, into its workflow to streamline stock car development and improve performance. This presentation will explore the advanced 3D printing applications used by LEGACY MOTOR CLUB to enhance automotive innovation.

We will provide insights into the production of large-scale components, such as fabricating molds for composite part manufacturing and wind tunnel testing parts, that contribute directly to vehicle aerodynamics and structural integrity. Furthermore, how LEGACY MOTOR CLUB utilizes BigRep's expansive build volume to efficiently produce production fixtures, templates for quality control, and organization tools, significantly improving assembly and track testing workflows.

Attendees will learn how 3D printing with industrial-grade materials are being applied for small-batch production, including instrumentation brackets and production runs of smaller parts on a large-scale bed, optimizing efficiency. The presentation will also highlight the strategic benefits of using large-format FFF technology for both prototyping and end-use parts, demonstrating how LEGACY MOTOR CLUB gains a competitive edge through faster iteration cycles, reduced costs, and reliable on-demand production.
