PROFILE
Sahil Gaikwad
Contributed to the FormulaRacingatUCDavis/FE12_CAD repository by designing and refining mechanical assemblies for steering, pedal, and suspension systems over a three-month period. Applied CAD modeling and assembly design skills to deliver integrated steering assemblies, enhanced pedal box components, and new front suspension models, focusing on system-level validation and manufacturing readiness. Addressed usability and reliability through iterative updates to pedal assemblies and material specifications, while also resolving critical 3D model issues to support prototyping. Utilized SolidWorks and SLDASM formats, maintained version control discipline, and improved cross-subsystem alignment, reducing integration risk and accelerating the transition from design to production.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024: Delivered core CAD updates across the FE12_CAD repository, focusing on pedal box and heel plate enhancements, steering system updates, and front suspension development. Implemented manufacturing-fit improvements, refined steering geometry with a moving rack, and advanced unsprung assembly modeling, while stabilizing the baseline through a controlled merge revert. These contributions reduce manufacturing rework, improve pedal response, and accelerate readiness for testing and production.
