For the past 10 years, the members of the association have been passing on their expertise and continuously innovating in all aspects, including manufacturing carbon fiber parts, machining various steel and aluminum components, and developing onboard systems.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-two-ambitious-projects-an-efficiency-prototype-and-a-formula-student-requiring-meticulous-design\"><strong>Two Ambitious Projects: An Efficiency Prototype and a Formula Student Requiring Meticulous Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Xometry: What are your flagship projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vinci Eco Drive (VED):<\/strong> Our first historical project, the <strong>Efficiency Prototype<\/strong>, aims to cover the maximum distance with minimal energy. With its optimized aerodynamic shape and an electric motor powered by a 48-volt battery, we set a record of 3,731 km on the equivalent of one liter of unleaded 95. This prototype earned us third place overall in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.challenge-ecogreen-energy.com\/2023-edition-results-resultats-edition-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Challenge Eco Green Energy 2023<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our second and most ambitious project to date is the <strong>Formula Student<\/strong>, an electric single-seater designed at a student level. Equipped with four motors\u2014one per wheel\u2014and a total power output of approximately 120 horsepower for a weight of 250 kg, this single-seater is expected to have its first version completed by the second quarter of 2025. We aim to participate in our first competitions in 2025 and compete in <strong>Formula Student Germany<\/strong>, the largest Formula Student competition in the world, bringing together over 100 international teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><div class=\"wp-block-image__wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"707\" height=\"897\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/vinci-eco-drive-team.jpeg\" alt=\"Vinci Eco Drive team\" class=\"wp-image-70105\" style=\"max-width:727px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/vinci-eco-drive-team.jpeg 707w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/vinci-eco-drive-team-236x300.jpeg 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><a class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button\" href=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/vinci-eco-drive-team.jpeg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-70080\" data-caption=\"Efficiency Prototype at the Shell Eco Marathon in Nogaro (France)\" aria-label=\"Open full image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/vinci-eco-drive-team.jpeg\" class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><svg class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n               <path d=\"M0 2V6H2V2H6V0H2C0.895 0 0 0.895 0 2ZM2 12H0V16C0 17.105 0.895 18 2 18H6V16H2V12ZM16 16H12V18H16C17.105 18 18 17.105 18 16V12H16V16ZM16 0H12V2H16V6H18V2C18 0.895 17.105 0 16 0Z\" fill=\"#092C47\"\/>\r\n             <\/svg><\/a><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Efficiency Prototype at the Shell Eco Marathon in Nogaro (France)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Xometry: Can you explain your design process in more detail?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>VED:<\/strong> We start by identifying the specific needs and goals of each project. Our priority is to design prototypes with maximum efficiency and mechanical reliability. To achieve this, we require well-designed and precisely manufactured parts. For instance, with our Efficiency Prototype, we constantly aim to set new records for kilometers traveled using the equivalent energy of a full tank of gas in electricity. This involves minimizing friction within mechanical components while carefully analyzing the properties of available materials to select those that best meet our requirements. We also study the available materials and their properties to choose the ones best suited to our needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, such as <strong>Dassault Syst\u00e8mes&#8217; 3DExperience<\/strong> and <strong>Fusion360<\/strong>, to model the various parts and components of the vehicle. We conduct simulations to optimize aerodynamics and material strength, allowing us to maximize the performance of our prototypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Xometry: How do you decide on the manufacturing processes and materials for your prototypes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>VED:<\/strong> Selecting the right manufacturing processes and materials is crucial for us. We have three main criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Performance:<\/strong> We choose materials that offer the best balance between strength, weight, and cost. For example, we use aluminum EN AW-6061 and steel 1.7225 because these alloys provide excellent resistance to the stresses (friction, torsion, compression) our prototypes endure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Innovation:<\/strong> We use modern materials like carbon fiber to reduce weight and enhance the performance of our vehicles. This approach allows us to stay at the forefront of innovation in student automotive construction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reliability:<\/strong> We prioritize proven and reliable manufacturing processes to ensure the quality of our components. For this reason, we exclusively use CNC machining to achieve tighter tolerances. Additionally, we apply specific treatments to our gears, such as carburizing (thickness of 0.1 to 0.2 mm) and achieving hardness levels above 59.3 +\/- 1 HRC, to enhance their durability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vinci-eco-drive-s-collaboration-with-xometry-a-strategic-manufacturing-partnership\"><strong>Vinci Eco Drive&#8217;s Collaboration with Xometry: A Strategic Manufacturing Partnership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Xometry: How has Xometry contributed to your projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>VED:<\/strong> We turned to Xometry for the production of our most complex parts, most of which required 5-axis CNC machining. Xometry also assisted us with machining large components that exceed the capacity of our own machines, such as a large gear wheel approximately 30 cm in diameter for our Efficiency Prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n    <section class=\"article-slider-block\">\r\n        <div class=\"article-content-wrapper\">\r\n            <!-- Swiper -->\r\n            <div class=\"swiper mySwiper2
