When Young Minds Hit Top Gear.

Research & Planning

Our journey began with understanding the fundamentals of Formula 1 engineering, aerodynamics, speed, and vehicle design. We researched how professional F1 teams improve performance through shape, balance, airflow, and lightweight structures. This helped us plan the design and goals for our own miniature race car.

Designing with CAD

Using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools including Autodesk Fusion, we created detailed 3D models of our car. We experimented with different body shapes, wheel placements, and aerodynamic features to achieve better speed and stability. Through multiple design modifications, we learned how even small changes can impact performance on the track.

Testing & Improvements

After creating our initial designs, we analysed and tested them to identify areas for improvement. Each round of testing taught us valuable lessons about engineering, teamwork, and precision.

• Reducing drag
• Improving aerodynamics
• Maintaining balance and stability
• Achieving a lightweight structure

Manufacturing

We carefully selected materials for different parts of our miniature F1 car based on their properties, performance, and efficiency. Through research and testing — including consultations with ENORD (carbon fibre drone manufacturing) and another manufacturer who suggested PLA and PetG — we selected carbon fibre for the body and nylon for the wheels. We sent the digital model to Stemplify who converted our design into a real-life miniature racing car using advanced CAM technology. Seeing our own virtual design become an actual physical car was an unforgettable experience for Team Infinity Speeders. It helped us understand how ideas and digital concepts can be turned into reality through engineering and technology.
