SEMA Garage announced a partnership with BigRep America on February 25, 2026 that gives SEMA members access to BigRep’s large-format additive manufacturing services. The move pairs SEMA Garage, the aftermarket association's member service focused on accelerating product development, with BigRep America, the U.S. arm of a company known for large-format 3D printing solutions. The announcement frames the collaboration as a practical expansion of SEMA Garage’s toolbox for builders and small manufacturers.

SEMA Garage was created to accelerate product development for builders and small manufacturers, and this agreement taps directly into that mission by adding large-format capacity that many aftermarket teams lack in-house. SEMA members who design bumpers, panels, fixtures, or custom tooling now have a route to parts beyond the reach of desktop printers because BigRep America specializes in large-format additive manufacturing. The partnership is positioned as a hands-on resource for prototype and short-run production runs that are typical in aftermarket development cycles.

BigRep America will provide the large-format printing services; the announcement identifies BigRep America by name as the service partner. For SEMA Garage members, access to BigRep’s machines means working with print volumes and part sizes that are a step up from common office-scale printers. That capability is especially relevant to builders who prototype full-size components, and to small manufacturers who need one-off jigs or production aids that can’t be tiled or assembled easily from multiple small prints.

The agreement was unveiled on February 25, 2026 and is part of SEMA Garage’s broader member services lineup. SEMA Garage described its role as accelerating product development, and the tie-up with BigRep America adds a vendor channel for members to move from CAD files to large-format printed parts without building their own factory. For small teams that lack space, capital, or process maturity to operate large-format machines, this partnership provides an outsized capability through the association’s service offering.

This collaboration changes where SEMA members will look for prototyping and short-run production: instead of outsourcing to generic job shops or patching together tiled prints, members now have a named partner in BigRep America via SEMA Garage. The partnership was announced February 25, 2026 and signals a concrete step by SEMA Garage to expand manufacturing options available to builders and small manufacturers within the aftermarket community.
