My part of it
I own the chassis CAD in Fusion. That means packaging the dual-motor drivetrain and electrical housing, checking clearances, and trying not to create a beautiful model that would be impossible to assemble.

Electric vehicle
A prototype electric vehicle where my job is making sure the chassis, two motors, and electrical housing can all occupy the same real piece of space.
Notes
The story so far
Working as a team
Every part affects another part, so the mechanical, controls, and electrical work has to stay synchronized. A small change for one person can become a fairly large problem for everyone else.
Finding the problems early
The point of the digital model is to find the collisions and weak ideas before they become physical. CAD cannot catch everything, but it is much nicer to discover interference with a mouse than with a saw.
Photo-ready
A place for the visual story.
These spaces are ready for your own photos. They'll keep their proportions and captions when the final images are added.
