STATESVILLE, N.C. / WILMINGTON, Mass. (Oct. 17, 2024) – LEGACY MOTOR CLUB announced today that BigRep America, Inc., a leader in large-format 3D printing technology, has teamed up with the CLUB to become its official 3D printing partner.
Through this strategic partnership, BigRep America and LEGACY MOTOR CLUB will embark on a multi-year initiative to expand the CLUB’s use of large-scale additive manufacturing in its operations, beginning with the deployment of two BigRep STUDIO G2 3D printers. With their large 1000mm x 500mm x 500mm build area, the STUDIO G2 printers will drive high-volume production of smaller parts, enable the creation of precise quality control templates for car builds, support wind tunnel testing components, and facilitate mold-making for composite parts.
“In an ever-evolving performance-driven industry, our ability to effectively go from concept to reality as quickly as possible is what will set us apart from our competition,” said Steven Sander, Director, Aerodynamics Engineering for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB. “We are excited to partner with BigRep and leverage their technology to take our operations to the next level. Their 3D printers and wide array of material capabilities will help us meet the highest standards of part size, reliability, and performance.”
Founded in 2014 in Berlin, Germany, BigRep’s mission has been to help businesses accelerate the adoption of large-scale additive manufacturing with their robust and reliable large-format 3D printing solutions.
“We are thrilled to be the official 3D printing partner of LEGACY MOTOR CLUB,” said Jeff Olson, Director of Business Development, Americas at BigRep. “The automotive industry, specifically motorsports, remains a vital sector for our company. This partnership reinforces our belief in empowering designers and engineers, like those at LEGACY MOTOR CLUB, with industrial 3D printing solutions that drive innovation, delivering value and results.”
This partnership marks a significant step in transforming LEGACY MOTOR CLUB’s production capabilities.
