Inside the Engineering of the WUT-7 for Lightweight Performance

Faced with the challenge of developing their latest Formula Student race car, the WUT Racing team from Warsaw University of Technology focused on topology optimization and vehicle dynamics. By rethinking their suspension, steering, and lightweighting strategies, they designed key components that weigh more than 50% less than the previous generation while maintaining the precision and reliability required for the demands of the race track.

The Engineer’s Guide to Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

Poor manufacturability decisions made early in the design process surface at the worst possible moment: during production, when fixing them costs exponentially more. This guide gives engineers a practical, process-specific framework for CNC machining, sheet metal, injection moulding, and additive manufacturing, with tolerance cost multipliers, material machinability data, and a full “before you export” checklist.
