Team Penske, one of the most competitive automotive racing teams in the world, evolved their use of 3D printing from testing models in their wind tunnel to jigs and fixtures, washout tooling in their composites
department, and end-use race car components. Additive manufacturing has provided them with a competitive edge, and a leadership position in performance.
Eckhart, a leader in advanced industrial solutions, customizes factory floor operations to address the specific needs of each client. These solutions include how ergonomics, line of site or bill of materials can be improved using autonomous guided vehicles, collaborative robotics and Stratasys additive manufacturing equipment.

Thule, a consumer goods manufacturer, embraces additive manufacturing with FDM Nylon 12 carbon fiber and Stratasys Fortus 3D Printers. With less than a full year of the Fortus 450mc under its belt, the company has already printed numerous designs and saved over $45,000 so far this year, and countless days of time.
Utah Trikes, a company that specializes in manufacturing trikes, quads, and custom wheelchairs, has adopted additive manufacturing in order to tackle projects with high customization requirements. Their Stratasys 3D printer has allowed them to product jigs and fixtures, and low-volume production runs in-house.
