Delcam Professional Services helped students from the University of Birmingham to achieve the University’s best ever Formula Student performance in the 2015 competition.  Among a number of components machined at Delcam’s Birmingham headquarters was a new combined brake calliper and upright. Staff from Delcam Professional Services provided guidance to the students on the design of the upright and then machined the components on five-axis machine tools in the company’s Advanced Manufacturing Facility.  Using a new bonded two-piece design with an integrated calliper resulted in an upright-calliper combined mass of 803g, delivering a 30% weight saving compared to the previous upright.  As well as transferring load between the wheel and the chassis, the part had to house the bearings in which the wheel hub rotates and control the suspension geometry.  Formula Student is an annual engineering design competition, challenging students from universities around the world to design, build, develop and race single-seater racing
