Concepts to Components: Rapid Prototype Test Fitting!
With all the departments hard at work, the first prototype parts are being created to give a clearer representation of how parts will come together. These prototypes were made using 3D printers as it allows for rapid prototyping using our CAD models. Rapid prototyping is a vital tool for SHU Racing as it allows for us to test ideas and get real representations of our work that can be used to check for potential fitting issues. Space is at a premium for us this year as we are

Composite Crash Structure Update!
In recent weeks, the crash structure department has been busy with manufacturing an anti-intrusion plate. The anti-intrusion plate (AIP) will sit on the front of the car to protect the driver in the event of a collision. The rules allow that a standard 1.5mm solid steel or 4.0mm solid aluminium AIP can be used. Alternative designs, on the other hand, are also acceptable if their strength is proven through testing. Therefore, this year an alternative composite AIP will be util
