UPBracing Team

As a sponsor, Loctite plays an essential role in our success at UPBracingTeam. Their comprehensive range of products supports us at every step, from preparation to assembly. Their cleaners allow us to start with a solid foundation, while their 2-component adhesives provide both rapid solutions in critical moments and long-lasting bonding for more permanent needs. In addition to adhesives, Loctite's lubricants and threadlockers ensure that our components work seamlessly and securely under the high demands of Formula Student racing. We are grateful for their partnership, which helps us achieve excellence in everything we do. #formulastudentloctite, #LOCTITEmoments, #TEROSONwow

Our electrics sub-team has been busy over the past few months⚡️💡 Today were excited to share a glimpse of what the team has been working on👀

New year, new car! 🏎️ We are hustling and working on the chassis, so we wanted to give you a little insight into the work 👀… . . . . #racecar #upbracingteam #fastcar #upbracing #proud #electriccar #formulastudentteamwork #becauseracecar #car #formulastudentgermany #formulastudentuk #fsuk #fsg #fsa #formulastudentaustria #sae #engineering #PX425E #upb #unipaderborn #student #university #motorsport #racing

Have you ever wondered how an Anti Rollbar, Torque Vectoring or Slip Control can improve a race car? Enjoy our quick overview 🎄 #racecar #upbracingteam #fastcar #upbracing #proud #electriccar #formulastudentteamwork #becauseracecar #car #formulastudentgermany #formulastudentuk #fsuk #fsg #fsa #formulastudentaustria #fsae #engineering #PX425E #upb #unipaderborn #student #university #motorsport  #racing

The Additive Manufacturing Working Group invites you to the Showcase Area (12.0 Stand B01) at Formnext - Where ideas take shape in Frankfurt (19.-22.10.2024). The Direct Manufacturing Research Center (DMRC) - Paderborn University with the UPBracing Team show an electric Formula Student racing car. The DMRC is bringing the PX424E, an electric Formula Student racing car from the UPBracing Team, to the showcase area at Formnext. The total power is 80KW, the torque is 1000 Nm and the total weight is 182.5 kg. Lightweight construction in this manner would not be possible without the additive manufacturing (AM) processes used. 🔦 Many components of the suspension system are topology-optimized and manufactured using the selective laser melting (SLM) process to keep the weight low. Metal is only applied in areas where forces act. 🔦 The fused deposition modeling (FDM) process is used, among other things, to produce negative molds, which in turn are used to create components made from carbon fiber. As a result, all wings of the PX424E weigh only approximately 12 kg. Additionally, some connectors, housings, parts of the battery, and many prototypes have been created using this process. 🔦 Components with complex geometries that are not subjected to high forces are produced using the selective laser sintering (SLS) process. This includes, for example, air intakes or internal stiffening elements in the wings. 🔦 The stereolithography (SLA) process has been primarily used in areas where water tightness and/or high-temperature resistance are required. All components share the fact that they are manufactured in very small quantities, which makes almost all other manufacturing processes economically unfeasible. #additivemanufacturing

From its incredible strength-to-weight ratio to its gorgeous look, carbon fiber is a game-changer in engineering and design. Let’s dive deeper into the topic! 🧡 #racecar #upbracingteam #fastcar #upbracing #proud #electriccar #formulastudentteamwork #becauseracecar #car #formulastudentgermany #formulastudentuk #fsuk #fsg #fsa #formulastudentaustria #fsae #engineering #PX424E #upb #unipaderborn #student #university #motorsport  #racing

Ever wondered what keeps planes soaring and race cars glued to the track? It’s all about mastering airflow and pressure! Here’s our first lesson for wings and flaps 🧡 #racecar #upbracingteam #fastcar #upbracing #proud #electriccar #formulastudentteamwork #becauseracecar #car #formulastudentgermany #formulastudentuk #fsuk #fsg #fsa #formulastudentaustria #fsae #engineering #PX424E #upb #unipaderborn #student #university #motorsport  #racing

🙌 Day 2 at the FMB 2024! After the fantastic start yesterday at the FMB in the Bad Salzuflen exhibition center, we are again looking forward to exciting discussions with visitors at our booth today. 🏎️ As last year, the UPBracing Team from the University of Paderborn is once again a real eye-catcher in terms of technology and innovations with their Formula racing car. And of course, we will also give some exciting insights into how we, as a solution provider, can best possible support our customers' projects in the field of wire EDM, milling and additive manufacturing. 📍Stand 20-B29 Whom do we meet today? #condorgroup #madeingermany #mechanicalengineering #fmb

Last week we had the opportunity to show and drive our cars on the campus. Great to share our work and connect with the new students. Thank you Paderborn University for the opportunity! #racecar #upbracingteam #fastcar #upbracing #proud #electriccar #formulastudentteamwork #becauseracecar #car #formulastudentgermany #formulastudentuk #fsuk #fsg #fsa #formulastudentaustria #fsae #engineering #PX424E #upb #unipaderborn #student #university #motorsport  #racing
