01 — PORTFOLIO

Engineering & Manufacturing

A deeper look at the engineering process—analysis, design decisions, materials and the finished assemblies.

CAD design and manufactured components of a custom Formula Student steering wheel

01 / CASE STUDY

Product Design / Composites

Formula Student Steering Wheel

Designed and manufactured a custom steering wheel for a Formula Student race car. Developed the complete CAD model with a focus on ergonomics and modular assembly. Designed composite molds in Creo for manufacturing the carbon fiber components. Manufactured a carbon fiber front plate combined with SLS 3D-printed structural parts. The final design was lightweight, rigid and suitable for motorsport applications.

CAD Design

Vehicle turntable

This project focused on checking the structural strength of a vehicle turntable — a circular platform designed to support and rotate a car. Using finite element analysis (FEM), several realistic loading situations were tested for a 3.5-tonne vehicle, including different wheel positions, front-wheel impact and partial support conditions. The analysis showed that placing the vehicle diagonally gave the most balanced load distribution. The main structural weakness was not the turntable frame itself, but the small roller shafts supporting it. Based on the results, the most effective improvement was to strengthen these shaft connections rather than redesign the complete structure.

Aerodynamics / Composite Design

Formula Student Carbon Fiber Front Wing

Designed and manufactured a carbon fiber front wing for a Formula Student race car. CFD simulations in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ before finalizing the design. Developed CAD models and composite molds in Creo and Fusion 360. Manufactured aerodynamic surfaces and carbon fiber spar using custom molds. Integrated water-jet cut aluminum ribs to maintain wing profile and structural stiffness Completed final assembly and integration on the vehicle
