Case Study: Ryerson’s International Hyperloop Team streamlines hyperloop design and wins an innovation award with CADENAS PARTsolutions

How Ryerson’s Hyperloop Team Streamlined their Design Process

Ryerson's International Hyperloop Team, a student group from Ryerson University, faced the challenge of designing a complex retractable wheel system for a high-speed Hyperloop pod. Their small team needed to source 120 specialized parts that met strict national aerospace standards, a process that threatened to slow down their innovative development. To tackle this, they utilized the ENTERPRISE 3Dfindit Strategic Parts Management tools from the vendor CADENAS PARTsolutions.

By implementing CADENAS PARTsolutions' digital database, the team gained immediate access to a complete library of NAS AIA standard parts. This solution streamlined their design process, allowing them to focus on development rather than part sourcing. The results were significant: the team developed five complete units in just one year and won the prestigious Subsystem Innovation Award in 2016.
