![]() Before races, Larsen needs to be ready with the best possible equipment to maximize safety for drivers and put them in a position to succeed. Larsen Motorsports began exploring the benefits of using 3D printing to print new steering wheels that could 1.) provide a better grip, and 2.) quickly implement important design elements missing in the stock aluminum part that would otherwise take weeks or months to arrive. The stock aluminum steering wheels which they’ve historically purchased and then modified (in a lengthy process) are shaped for much larger hands than those of rookie House of Kolor-sponsored dragster driver, Josette Roach - putting both safety and performance at risk. Larsen Motorsports, a research and development center for high-performance vehicles, is using Simulation from Markforged to improve the designs of steering wheels in its jet engine drag racing vehicles. Ultimately, this enables expanded use of fiber-reinforced composite parts - more metal tooling and end-use parts can be replaced in a manner that is faster, for cheaper, and effortlessly. Replacing the typical 5 to 25 iterations of trial and error printing with virtual testing can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars per part. Avoid overbuilt parts and wasted material by effortlessly applying settings that optimize to meet your needs for strength, cost, and print speed. Simulation reduces the cost of 3D printed parts by automatically optimizing the amounts of material and continuous fiber reinforcement needed.Unlike traditional simulation tools that need specialized expertise and time-consuming analysis, Simulation is integrated into Eiger and streamlined for additive manufacturing so users can test parts within their familiar slice and print workflow. Simulation allows you to deliver trusted parts faster by reducing design-print-test iteration cycles and rework delays.Powerful simulation technology that’s optimized for additive manufacturing lets any user virtually test parts - taking the guesswork out of configuring print parameters to meet performance requirements. ![]() Simulation instills confidence that your 3D printed parts will have the strength required for demanding industrial applications.Our in-slicer Simulation feature means no more lengthy design-print-break testing cycles, costly and time-consuming analysis, or excess material put into overbuilt parts. We promised to deliver a fast, automated way to validate part performance - and ultimately make it quick and effortless to print parts precisely optimized for the most demanding end-use applications.
