Danko Arlington Steers UMBC Racing Towards Success

On November 15, 2023, Danko Arlington was honored to host the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) Baja racing team.  During the visit, the team was able to witness the creation of their custom steering rack design.

Danko Arlington earlier collaborated with Mechanical Engineering seniors Tanner Saslow, Drive Train Design Lead, and Shaya Wachtel, Suspension Design Lead, to optimize their original cast part using SolidWorks and Magmasoft software programs.  

Seeing up close and in-person foundry processes including 3-D printing of the pattern, was great way for company showcase the theoretical engineering principles which the students have been learning in school.  The company too benefited by re-establishing closer relationships with UMBC Engineering — especially for awareness and recruiting future metal casters.
