Force feedback steering wheels are used in games or simulations and provides the driver with a more realistic experience in different simulated driving environments. These simulators can also improve driving skills and help reduce costs and time in the development of automotive technology. This project is conducted at Luleå University of Technology for a bachelor degree at the automotive system technology program. The aim is to design and fabricate a functioning compact force feedback steering wheel that includes manufacturing mechanical parts with a 3D-printer and designing high precision parts with CAD software. The integration of advanced electronics is also part of the project. The challenge is to make the mechanical parts and electronics work seamlessly together in order to create a well-functioning system and at the same time reduce costs to the budget. This project is a test of the wide range of engineering abilities learned in the automotive system technology program. Limitations and challenges include the limited area of the 3D printer, the low cost electric motor and the limited space inside of the steering wheel unit which result in a compact product. Part of the project is also to compare existing products on the market to create a product specification and bench marking.
