This part was created by [Erik Schwartz](https://www.instagram.com/erikschwartz23/) as a functional part to improve the performance of their racing vehicles. Erik Schwartz has partnered with UltiMaker to help demonstrate the power of 3D printing and we are sharing the part so that our users can experience them as well! The sample print shown in the images was printed using [UltiMaker PET CF.](https://ultimaker.com/materials/s-series-pet-carbon-fiber/) The Erik Schwartz racing team partnered with UltiMaker to test composite materials during demanding automotive use cases and this part is a perfect example of the value they provide. The CVT clutch system on Schwartz racing vehicles generates a lot of heat. Belt temperatures can exceed 120 °C. Keeping belt temperatures as low as possible is critical to belt life. This bracket holds a large hose on the frame that acts as an air scoop. Carbon fiber composites have a high heat deflection temperature and printed parts can withstand proximity to high-heat areas without deforming.
