One outdated CAD file can derail an entire race car build.
Now imagine coordinating 85 engineers, hundreds of parts, multiple subsystems all evolving at once.
That’s the reality for UCalgary Racing. keeping track of versions, controlling access, and avoiding accidental overwrites became harder as the team scaled.
To solve it, they centralized everything with Kenesto.
Now every CAD file lives in one place, version control is clear and traceable, access is managed and the master assembly always reflects the latest components.
Everyone, from subsystem leads to new team members is looking at the same car.
Philip Mrljic, Mechanical Engineering Lead, said it well:”Kenesto has been integral to improving the team’s workflow in recent years. It has allowed us to keep all our CAD files organized, in one place, and accessible from any computer at any time, allowing members and leadership to make updates wherever they are. With it we can easily reference past work for inspiration, making the overall design process easier and helping us make better decisions.”
