BBi Autosport Partners with Creaform for 99th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb
Creaform announced that it became an official partner of BBi Autosport for the 2021 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) that will take place on June 27, 2021, in Colorado, USA. BBi, specialized in performance aftermarket and safety upgrades for all Porsche platforms as well as engineering services, decided to leverage the power of Creaform’s hardware and software 3D solutions, which proved to be instrumental in meeting the short deadlines that the team was facing, prior to the race.
Known as the “Race to the Clouds” and one of the most reputed and arduous car racing events in the world, PPIHC is one of the hardest events to prepare for, given the unpredictable and brutal nature of the environment. As BBi needed to work quickly on their impressive and updated aerodynamics within three racing classes, they were looking for a way to rapidly and efficiently acquire 3D measurements to collect accurate data about the performance and reliability of many diverse race-car components. They also wanted to reduce their reliance on third-party service providers by getting a fast and versatile solution to generate scan data immediately workable to create new parts.
