Since its introduction, 3D printing has been driving significant cost savings in the manufacturing industry by dramatically advancing speed, performance, and customization of competitive racing sleds.
In 2018, USA Luge team was faced with a challenge on how to test different sled designs and making adjustments as quickly as possible. Luge design plays a critical role in race outcomes where the difference between winning and losing is measured in thousandths of a second. Testing different sled designs and making adjustments as quickly as possible is crucial to develop the fastest sled in the shortest amount of time.
Find out in this whitepaper how the USA Luge team leveraged Stratasys FDM technology as a solution that enabled them to rapidly and cost-effectively build and test racing sleds that were tailored to the body of each athlete.
