Tech stack

What we use to design the car

The software we need is free for students; what sponsors fund is the physical kit, equipment and logistics, not licenses.

Autodesk Fusion Free

Official CAD/CAM/CAE partner of STEM Racing. This is where we model the car part by part and prepare machining toolpaths.

Ansys Student Free

Includes Ansys Discovery, the tournament's official CFD partner. We simulate airflow over the car before manufacturing each version.

Computing equipment

CFD simulations demand equipment with strong graphics capability: this is one area where a sponsor's support directly speeds up our work.

Development Class kit

Official model block for the body, CO₂ cartridges, axles and eyelets; the car is machined from this kit.
