Rucker Performance Distributes Icengineworks™ Precision Header Modeling System
FORT WORTH – Rucker Performance, a leading designer and manufacturer of custom American muscle, chopper and pro-mod motorcycles, has teamed up with Icengineworks™, a manufacturing and engineering firm, to distribute their patented new line of exhaust header modeling block systems that provide manufacturers and builders in the motorsports and automotive industries with the freedom to design and mock up exhausts.
Icengineworks has created a manually operated, 3-dimensional modeling system based on sets of interlocking plastic blocks that are molded in shapes that represent actual tubing, straight and bent after assembly. The blocks, always 1-inch in length at the centerline, show information on the metal sections, bend radii and length in inches. Fabricators can attach, disconnect and rearrange the blocks as many times as needed. Different sizes or series of the blocks can be combined to mock-up stepped systems.
Due to the versatility of the blocks, builders and manufacturers can quickly and inexpensively develop and test limitless designs without committing expensive materials and other resources until they are satisfied with a final product. "The main objective is creating the simplicity and speed to manually assemble, break apart, modify and rearrange precise sections of blocks representing tubular designs," said Victor Franco, founder and President of Icengineworks. "The designer becomes more efficient, reaches the optimum design in less time and can explore layout possibilities limited only by the imagination."
Icengineworks has designed the model block system for performance driven individuals in the marketplace. "This system has the potential to save labor hours and cost while increasing the profitability of the company," said Bill Rucker, founder and CEO of Rucker Performance. "We have incorporated this system at Rucker Performance and believe this product will make a strong impact in the motorsports industry."
Rucker Performance now distributes the Icengineworks exhaust modeling system. To learn more about the precision exhaust header modeling systems from Icengineworks™, contact Bill Rucker at 817.838.3200 or log onto www.icengineworks.com.
