How 3D Scanning Drives Sam Hunt Racing Performance to New Heights

December 18, 2025 10:00 AM America/New_York

As Sam Hunt Racing prepares for the 2026 season, they're adding a metrology department to help crew chiefs, engineers, and mechanics better understand each individual part of their racecars to build faster, more competitive machines. 

During this session, we'll explore the ZEISS T-SCAN Hawk 2 handheld 3D laser scanner that TriMech is providing to SHR—a next-generation lightweight scanner delivering metrology-grade precision with remarkable ease of use. Attendees will gain insights into specific applications where SHR uses the Hawk 2 scanner to improve their racing processes, from reverse engineering and quality control to digital assembly of produced parts.

TriMech Innovation Manager, Conner Janeteas, will be joined by Jesse Little, VP of Business Development with Sam Hunt Racing, for an exclusive webinar exploring the groundbreaking technical partnership between TriMech Group and Sam Hunt Racing (SHR), the first partnership of its kind in the NASCAR Xfinity Series team's history. This webinar will provide an introduction to the Sam Hunt Racing organization and showcase how precision measurement technology is becoming a vital component of on-track success in professional motorsports.

Looking ahead, we'll discuss the exciting roadmap for this technical partnership, including future opportunities in additive manufacturing, SOLIDWORKS design optimization, and simulation capabilities. Whether you're in manufacturing, engineering, motorsports, or simply interested in how cutting-edge metrology technology is transforming competitive racing, this webinar will demonstrate the powerful intersection of advanced measurement technology and high-performance motorsports.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How NASCAR teams leverage advanced technologies such as additive manufacturing and 3D scanning, and how these principles apply to your business.

  • Why the ZEISS T-SCAN HAWK 2 is the perfect technology for the foundation of their 3D scanning program.

  • Why TriMech is the right partner to help drive Sam Hunt Racing’s advanced manufacturing and metrology program to the front of the field.
