Ready, Set, Render - How Design Launch Night 2021 was Built in Keyshot
In early 2021, as we continued to work from home, we depended more heavily upon digital platforms to develop both the team and our 2021 driverless-electric challenger. So our team saw a unique opportunity to deepen our knowledge of the tools at our disposal and put our rendering tool of choice, Keyshot, to the ultimate test.
Test for Success
Rigorous testing and data analysis play a vital role in the success of our numerous FSAE campaigns. Over the years, the team has depended upon an extensive testing schedule so that we can effectively capitalise on the limited time we have before competitions. Each test contributes to our confidence as a team, in both the cars and the drivers.
