Georgia Tech / EcoCAR EV Challenge
Touchscreen
mount
A better fit for the Cadillac LYRIQ.
The touchscreen rattled on the road, and its mount left a gap under the dash. I redesigned the mount in Siemens NX and tested each 3D print in the car until the housing sat flush with the console.

Getting the fit right
Measure in the car
With the early mount in place, the bolt holes were slightly off and the housing touched the surrounding trim. Measurements taken in the car showed where the housing needed more clearance.
Revise, print, refit
Back in NX, I angled the supports to match the slope of the console and shifted the bolt holes into alignment. Each new print went back into the car for a check of the fit against the trim and the view from the driver’s seat.

Display housing
The housing holds the touchscreen at an angle the driver can read. The Buzz logo is part of the printed sidewall.
Competition vehicle
On the road
Georgia Tech competed with the finished mount installed in the LYRIQ. The screen sat just below the dash, within reach of the driver.
Georgia Tech earned first place overall in the 2026 competition.
