Objective: Research methods to jigging a car. Potential resources including other Formula SAE teams and things I can find on YT.

Jigging is the process of creating structural supports to ensure the manufactured chassis is properly aligned and straight. A good jig ensures the chassis is built as accurately as possible to the CAD model.

The jig table is the structure where the MSXVI jig will be built upon. The model for ours can be found in https://pdm.getbild.com/184dd2a4-dcb4-4047-ac71-7f80048d84c7/branch/main?tab=project_files&dir=1ce68247-9958-4168-8bdf-ba2f22b3dc6a .

Limitations:

• no pegboard to line up components nicely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeI3SCvy3Gg (what a pegboard looks like) (Matt says could be possible)

• length of 8' and width of 3'

Considerations:

• aluminum extrusions

• pegboard

• magnetic tab holder (fastener)

Pros / Cons

Might be useful:

• toggle clamps? https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Bv0asHz0SpE

  Unsure what this is but useful for holding pipes. (tube clamp)

• fibre boards (MDF)

  • need thicken boards, or use aluminum extrusions

Our Design

• aluminum extrusions

• fibre boards (MDF) https://www.instagram.com/p/BON2rujDFfs/

  • need thicken boards, or use aluminum extrusions (Mido)

  • laser cutting for fibreboards

Notes from MSXI

• simply fibre boards are too weak because they were too flimsy.

• choose both AE and MDF or just AE.

• Matt used the metal clamps which attach to the holes on the boards

• rear mdf boards were weak in this structure swaying left and right

• Small holes in fibreboard are slots for the metal tube clamps to attach pipes to board.
