Design and Analysis of Fixed Brake Caliper using Additive Manufacturing

Abstract

Abstract: The brake caliper's function is to channel the mechanical force generated by the driver's mechanical action on the brake master cylinder—pressurized fluid—into an outward force that may be directed to the car's brake rotors. The effectiveness of the brakes plays a significant role in a vehicle's performance, and the design of the caliper may be improved by taking into account elements like the bleeding port, the brake pads, and the fluid flow path. As two-wheeler calipers are often used in automobiles, the entire system must be dismantled, bled, and then reassembled involved halves. Custom calipers have been employed by commercial automakers to cut back on the extra work involved in developing and producing RH and LH calipers. This project aims of this project are to create, evaluate, and maybe construct a front brake caliper prototype for the Formula Student cars. The desired outcome would be for the brake caliper to outperform all of the "firms" and set us apart from the other competing teams. Additive manufacturing is a new and rapidly developing manufacturing method. The current manufacturing processes for brake calipers separate components assembler.
