These two NASCAR teams are the eighth and ninth sponsored by DPTechnology.
Vice president of special projects for DP Technology, Bill Haas,said: "They came to us and wanted our software because they figuredout it was the best software out there".
Petty Enterprises said it had become unsatisfied with its previous CAM software owing to a: 'lack of improvements and growth versatility'.
so the company was investigating various new CAM software packageswhen its engineers visited an ESPRIT booth at a machining industry trade show in North Carolina.
Design engineer for Petty Enterprises, Bobby Turner, said: "Whileinvestigating, we also learned that an engineer in the office hadused ESPRIT at a machine shop he worked at prior to PettyEnterprises".
Petty Enterprises will use ESPRIT to write programming code for itsHAAS V4 CNC vertical machining centre (VMC), which is used to machine several different kinds ofparts for its racecars.
The parts range from the chassis and suspension to the body; inother words: "Pretty much everything except engine components,"said Turner.
Petty Enterprises is implementing ESPRIT software, which willimprove the production of parts for the racing teams' vehicles.
"It should save us some time and money, which in turn will allow usto spend more time improving parts and spending money in otherimportant areas," added Turner.
