Abstract
  • This thesis compares the implementation of additive manufactured suspension uprights against subtractive manufactured suspension uprights from concept generation, design, and validation through simulation. Additive manufactured suspension uprights were designed for Global Formula Racing’s 2023 electric vehicle. Utilizing Siemens NX, Nastran, Fusion 360, and Ansys Workbench both subtractive and additive manufactured uprights were designed and evaluated for structural stresses and factors of safety were calculated. A comparison of subtractive and additive manufactured suspension uprights concluded that additive manufactured uprights significantly reduce design and manufacturing time while providing novel design solutions to common issues found when designing subtractive manufactured suspension uprights. Additive manufactured uprights maintain comparable factors of safety, are comparable in mass, and allow for system integration opportunities not present with subtractive manufactured uprights.
