Design and Production of a Formula Student Car Cockpit

This lecture covers the design and production process of a Formula Student car cockpit, focusing on innovations such as a larger battery for improved autonomy, 4-wheel drive for increased power and maneuverability, and a full monocoque chassis to reduce weight. The speakers detail their work on cockpit components like the steering wheel, dashboard, headrest, seat, and firewall, from initial design using 3D modeling to structural simulations for optimizing carbon fiber layup. They also discuss the challenges faced during the production phase and the facilities at EPFL used for manufacturing, culminating in the assembly of the cockpit components into the car for public unveiling.
