Rapid is a proud sponsor of the University of Waterloo Formula Motorsports Team. In a collaborative partnership, we were able to produce this CNC Machined Steering Rack.
I don’t get it honestly… why not machine the 3 pieces and connect by weld with tubes. 5 axis doesn’t mean higher precision necessarily… deflection over that cutter length for instance. this is a flashy part, that takes money from a limited budget… 6061 is weldable as far as I know!? pls change my mind. I’d love insight!

There's no right or wrong in the process, We just use the method we are good at, Yes you can tig weld 6061 aluminum.
More! For the love of all things 5 axis, more!
Hey Chris, We have few videos, Subscribe so you won't miss them.
This part is a housing of steering rack and normally produced by die-casting. Why do you utilize the CNC machining process?
The Formula SAE Team want's us to machine the part with 6061 Aluminum.
Obviously for a one-off like this, CNC is faster and cheaper then die casting.
Really amazing!
Thank you, Thank you for Subscribing as well
Nice video.👍
Thank you
Love your work!
Thank you. We appreciate you. Thank you for subscribing
Looks good, but unfortunately for me that's a bad thing as the team I'm on is gonna possibly compete against it.
Good Luck, Thank you for subscribing
