At Team Ignite, our cars are modelled from the ground up using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. We are fluent in various applications, including Fusion 360, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Onshape, and More. 

To optimize our designs, we utilize CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations. These simulations enable us to visualize airflow around the car, as well as provide critical data such as the drag coefficient, lift, and downforce. CFD is crucial as it allows us to evaluate designs without having to manufacture entire cars and operate around a tight budget. 

Our car bodies are machined with a CNC router from competition regulation foam. Our school, SATEC @WA Porter, is one of the few schools in the TDSB with CNC machining capabilities.

In order create the rest of the car we rely heavily on 3D printing. Our team commands a plethora of home 3D printers. What really sets us apart is our filament choices, but shhh... we won't share them here.
