Some projects I've been working on:

This project aims to calculate the loads that are applied to a car in different extreme cases of vehicle operation: braking, cornering, acceleration and bumps.

The main function of dampers is to reduce the duration and amplitude of vibrations in the mechanical elements by dissipating the vibrational energy of dynamic loads, as well as to maintain vehicle stability and ensure maximum and balanced contact and grip of the tyres with the track.. In the automotive sector, dampers are important components of...

Design of a formula type steering wheel, light, robust and comfortable. Constructed with parts generally made of carbon fibre and aluminium, designed for use in Formula Student type vehicles, with an overall dimension of 265 mm wide.

This project was born from the need of every Formula Student team to incorporate the vehicle control pedals in their car. The pedal box is a key element as it directly influences the design of surrounding components such as chassis and suspension. In addition, there are no commercial options that are well suited to the needs of this type of...

In this project, a redesign of the front wheel assembly has been done in order to improve the dynamic behaviour of the car, to reduce weight, to simplify components and to fix errors and problems of the previous design.

The idea behind this project is to create a display for a formula car or any other vehicle with relevant information about the car for the driver or the engineer. This display is connected to the car's systems (datalogger, ECU, Engine and other sensors) and collects all the information to display it on the screen.

Additive metal manufacturing is a technology that allows the creation of three-dimensional objects by depositing metal material layer by layer. It also allows the design of parts with complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. This technique also allows to improve manufacturing...

The MART Formula Student MA23RT incorporates a wheel mount system with a central nut hub. Previous team vehicles featured a simpler system commonly used in road cars, which relied on four pressure studs for attachment. This change was prompted by the switch of rims from one season to another, so a new system was necessary.

Additive metal manufacturing is a technology that allows the creation of three-dimensional objects by depositing metal material layer by layer. It also allows the design of parts with complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods.

The idea behind this project is to adapt the throttle body of a Formula Student vehicle with an electronic throttle control.

During the 2023 season, I laid the foundations for the design and manufacturing of the season. An evolution of the previous vehicle, starting with a newly manufactured chassis, improved finishes, materials, and components. This resulted in a faster, lighter, and more reliable car.

In this new post, the manufacturing process of the intake throttle body made for the MA22RT of the year 2022 is described. Also, some of the photos and drawings made during the process are shown.
