The unmanned racing car was BRT-8D developed by students of various faculties of the Moscow State Technical University named after N.E. Bauman to participate in international student engineering competitions FormulaStudent. A car with a capacity of 95 hp and a weight of 280 kg can accelerate to 100 km in 4.2 seconds.

Material: Aluminum alloy

Dimensions: 190х250х70

Production time: 2 parts in 32 hours

The steering knuckle steering knuckle is a key element of the suspension of an unmanned car. Racing teams, including Formula 1 world leaders, see suspension as a crucial tool affecting the car’s aerodynamics and handling.

TASK

Print a product with a complex bionic design and designed using generative topological optimization.

PRODUCTION

Topological optimization, generation of bionic design and bringing the result to the solid 3D model were carried out by the customer.

For our part, we have prepared for printing a product that combines technological orthogonal forms and bionics.

Printing was a classic case of manufacturing a generically optimized product. Continuous supports were located on flat faces (landing ends, bosses). The smoothed generative areas were held by lattice structures. Small allowances for machining implied on our part an accurate accounting of shrinkage based on previously collected empirical data.

RESULTS

Two parts with a bionic design were made in 32 hours. The dimensions of one part were 190x250x70 mm.
