The design and manufacture of firewall and driver's seat of a Formula Student racecar is great challenge related to driver's ergonomics and performance, weight, strength and stiffness optimization, firewall and seat design, choice of materials and manufacturing technology. In this kind of seats is very important to put driver's centre of gravity as low as possible taking into consideration driver's ergonomics, hand room and visibility. To achieve this aim a foam seat is made and then scanned to get a rough 3D CAD model. After that, more finalized model needs to be made in CAD according to scanned model taking into consideration the manufacturing possibilities. Then mould will br made from the last model in 5D CNC machine. At the end, a carbon fibre seat will be manufactured with that mould.
