Our subsidiary, Engineered Heat Treat (EHT), specializes in heat treating parts, ensuring the durability and performance of critical components such as gears for the team's gearbox. Additionally, we manufacture gears for their gearbox, cut splines for their four-wheel-drive system. Our other subsidiary, BMT Additive, is utilizing advanced 3D printing technology to produce titanium rear driveshafts.
This partnership underscores the depth of our commitment to the CWRU Motorsports team. By providing essential components and leveraging our expertise in heat treatment and additive manufacturing, we empower them to compete at the highest level. Together, we embody the spirit of collaboration and innovation, driving towards excellence in motorsport engineering.
The Baja SAE collegiate
The Baja SAE Collegiate Design Series is a competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International. It challenges students from universities worldwide to design, build, and race off-road vehicles. The series includes several events, such as Baja SAE, which focuses on off-road racing, and Baja SAE Electric, which emphasizes electric vehicles.
Teams are required to design and construct a vehicle that can withstand the rigors of off-road terrain while also meeting specific performance criteria. This includes tasks like maneuverability, suspension design, acceleration, and endurance.
Throughout the competition, teams not only race their vehicles but also present their design and manufacturing processes to a panel of judges, who evaluate their engineering decisions, cost management, and overall performance.
Participating in the Baja SAE Collegiate Design Series provides students with invaluable hands-on engineering experience, teamwork skills, and exposure to real-world automotive engineering challenges. It's a fantastic opportunity for aspiring engineers to apply classroom knowledge to practical problems and gain insights into the automotive industry.
