University of Florida: FSAE Team

Realize helped out the University of Florida FSAE team with an intake for their car. It’s always exciting to see how the parts that we create perform out in the world. The intake and car recently ran in all the events in the FSAE 2015 Michigan Competition.

We talked with Andrew Cheung from the team about the competitions and the teams future goals.

 

“We placed 3rd overall, 1st in Acceleration, 2nd in Endurance, 5th in Business, 2nd in the Design Event, and 1st in FEV Powertrain Development. Moving forward, the overall goals for the team is to transfer knowledge, keep a top 5 finish, and have an even larger focus on powertrain development. We’ve recently bought a dynamometer to provide more validation in our designs. For the intake specifically, we are going to take what we learned from this intake and create a more refined version of it and would love to use your services again. “

Congrats and Realize wishes you well on achieving your team goals!

Realize Intake Prototype for FSAE

Realize enjoys working with FSAE Teams. What is an FSAE team? It’s a collegiate design series competition where students build cars and compete against other schools. 

Realize has worked with many schools including: Rose Hulman, Purdue, Washington University, University of Akron, Carnegie Mellon, LSU, Missouri S&T, University of Pittsburgh, and Dalhousie.

We enjoy working with young minds and educating the students on the latest 3D Technologies and how they can apply them to their team goals.

Formula SAE gives student design teams the task of developing a small Formula-style race car. The prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item. Each student team designs, builds and tests a prototype based on a series of rules.

Brandon Hasenour from the Rose Hulman FSAE team enjoyed his experience working with Realize:

“RoseGPE turns to Realize for our intakes because of their dependable build quality, quick turn-around time, and their ability to create parts that we couldn’t normally manufacture. Realize is always easy to work with and we know that they will get the job done right.”
