Founded in 1995, Factory Five Racing builds and ships affordable custom car kits to customers around the world. To accelerate its design work, Factory Five’s engineers turned to HP workstations with AMD FireGL™ graphics accelerators when running SolidWorks® 3D CAD software. Factory Five lead engineer Jesper Ingerslev calls the hardware combination the ideal platform for the company’s next generation of automotive design. “We see clear advantages to using HP workstations with AMD FireGL and SolidWorks,” Ingerslev says. “The result is a faster, better, more precise design. We can then take the design and feed it to our plasma cutter for flawless prototype cuts. The whole process is quicker and more efficient.”
