ACX performance components are developed using advanced generative, cloud-based engineering methods that prioritize real-world stress analysis over traditional design assumptions. Rather than relying on conventional CAD modeling alone, ACX defines load paths, torsional forces, vibration characteristics, material constraints, and manufacturing processes at the start of development. The result is organically optimized geometry that places material only where it is structurally necessary.

This engineering approach is paired with Direct Metal Laser Sintered (DMLS) aluminum manufacturing, allowing complex, high-strength mounting points to be produced with exceptional precision. These forms cannot be achieved through traditional machining and are critical to achieving the high strength-to-weight ratios ACX is known for. Carbon fiber center sections are then carefully engineered for wall thickness and rigidity to complete each assembly.

ACX currently applies this technology to strut tower braces for both the BMW G8X M2, M3, and M4 platforms as well as the Toyota Supra A90. In each application, the goal remains the same: increased chassis rigidity, reduced flex under cornering loads, and meaningful performance gains without unnecessary weight.

IND works directly with ACX to bring these components to market, ensuring proper fitment, consistent quality, and configurations tailored specifically for performance-focused drivers.
