Mechanical Engineering

The mechanical engineering team is responsible for designing and manufacturing the boat’s components, as well as developing the mechanisms for the challenges. We use Autodesk Inventor, a CAD software, to calculate the boat’s waterline and create 3D models of the hulls and mechanisms. Additionally, we utilize tools like the CNC machine to precisely cut out the hull frames before beginning the fiberglassing process. We wrap the frame with cloth, apply large sheets of fiberglass, and use resin to shape the boat hulls. The team is also in charge of the propulsion system, which includes mounting the propellers and creating the frame that connects both hulls.
