Abstract

This project aims to design an organic chassis for an autonomous FSAE vehicle. The project was scaled to allow for additive manufacturing capabilities and explores methods of manufacturing for the complex outcomes. Examining traditional chassis design methods and building upon the knowledge of generations of vehicle structure designers. The application of Generative design and Topology Optimisation into complex structures is proposed in this project. Design outcomes are inspected, Validated, and manufactured (prototyped) then further inspected for design defects and manufacturing quality. The process development through this project attempts to bridge the gap between traditional design and simulation, to modern design optimisation techniques.
