Rucker Performance Distributes Icengineworks

AMD

Rucker Performance has announced that it will be distributing the Icengineworks patented exhaust header modeling block system. The system allows manufacturers and builders in the motorsport and automotive industries to design and mock-up exhausts.

Icengineworks has created a manually operated 3D modeling system based on sets of interlocking plastic blocks that are molded in shapes and represent actual tubing, straight and bent after assembly. The blocks, 1" 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 blocks can be combined to mock-up stepped systems.

"The main objective is creating the simplicity and speed to manually assemble, break apart, modify and rearrange precise sections of blocks representing tubular designs," says 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."

"This system has the potential to save hours of labor and cost while increasing the profitability of the company," says 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 motorsport industry."
