| description | The article aims to describe the integrated path used for the conceptual, functional and constructive design of an exclusive solar vehicle. The project was based on the massive implementation of concurrent engineering and quality tools, rarely used in such an integrated way. New and attractive design, 3D CAD modelling, details design, structural and fluid dynamic validations, in-scale rapid prototyping, functional tests, multi-objective optimization, parts manufacturing and assembly. Thanks to this approach, the solar prototype presents high technological contents, especially in terms of materials, structures and processes, together with their optimizations. Furthermore, large CNC-machined multi-material molds, hybrid manufacturing solutions: everything was used to speed up phases permitting to move from the initial idea to the final prototype in 24 months. Since June 2018, the solar vehicle is on the road, transporting 4 people, weighing less than 300kg, reaching speeds of 120km/h and able to run hundreds of km without fuel. |
