Stratasys F770 3D Printer - First in Florida

RENNtech Engineering has utilized 3D printers to create prototypes, jigs, and parts for over two decades. Our most recent addition to the printer lineup is the Stratasys F770, which is capable of printing large parts over 3 feet in length / width and is the first one of its kind in the State of Florida.

The use of 3D printing helps lowering cost and lead time of production parts though verifying concepts and fitment, and shortens the time-to-market for new products. This allows RENNtech to introduce new products to the market at competitive prices without compromising design, quality or time.

“3D printing has always been a great tool for rapid prototyping, but there’s a common problem of build volume being too small. With the F770 is capable of producing large parts in one or two pieces instead of five or six. This will enable us to design, and prototype printed parts we have not attempted before; like hoods, widebody kits, and doors. The upcoming years will be very imaginative and exciting, I cannot wait to see what we come up with. “ – Connor Salley, Engineer RENNtech

The Stratasys F770 uses the highest quality ABS and ASA materials which can be used for large size prototypes or lightweight production pieces. The first production piece from the Stratasys F770 will be the Eurostyle Bumper Plate designed for the C257 CLS -chassis.

Designed in house, the Eurostyle Bumper Plate is designed to eliminate the unsightly American “bumperette”, replacing it with a form-fitting insert for a sleek look. After printing, the part will be test-fitted and then finished in either primer or gloss black before made available for our customers.

Other performance products that benefit from 3D printing at this scale include our carbon fiber Aero products. With prototype Aero parts we can test fit and visually inspect parts designed in CAD before moving to carbon fiber manufacturing, a valuable pre-production feature of 3D printing which benefits the end user – the Mercedes-AMG Performance enthusiast.

RENNTECH WHEELS FOR SL | CLS

---

Based on RENNTECH's popular "Monolite" 10-spoke design, the new Signature wheels are available in chrome, anodized "Sniper Gray", and a unique brushed satin finish. "The satin finish is really something," offers Hartmut Feyhl, president of RENNTECH and ex technical director at AMG North America. "This is not the same brushed look you see on mass-produced products. It is actually a ceramic clearcoat that brings out alot of depth in the metal - you can only do a finish like this on a true forged wheel. The effect is very dynamic in different light, and a little hard to capture on camera."

RENNTECH uses the term "true forged" to help separate their wheels from other maker's "forged" offerings. "In many cases," explains Feyhl "these wheel-makers use a forged 'blank' or 'center', then use a CNC machine to cut out a pattern. Cutting the blank eliminates many of the strength benefits of forging. Our wheel is a true forged wheel, and comes out of the forge already with RENNTECH's signature 10-spoke design."

At around 28 lbs., RENNTECH's Signature wheels reduce unsprung weight compared to OE wheels, improving the car's handling and contributing positively to ride quality as well - keeping true to RENNTECH's motto of "performance without compromise". RENNTECH is also quick to point out that reduced weight and superior dynamic qualities are not the only benefits of his new wheels - they are significantly stronger than than stock wheels, which is especially important for drivers who participate in trackday events.

Production of RENNTECH's Signature wheel is very limited, so customers can be certain that, even in markets like Miami Beach or Beverly Hills, their wheels will stand out as something special.

Available in 20" sizes for SL and CLS. Also available in 20", 21", and 22" sizes for S, CL, and ML/GL class Mercedes /AMG cars.
