Cross Drilled
Brake Rotor
Project Overview
This high-performance brake rotor was designed to improve braking efficiency, thermal management, and overall reliability under demanding conditions. Featuring a series of precision-drilled holes across its surface, the rotor enhances ventilation and reduces the risk of brake fade during repeated or high-speed braking. The design also facilitates the removal of water and debris, ensuring consistent contact between the brake pad and rotor.
Crafted with durability in mind, the rotor is modeled using a high-strength material suitable for automotive applications, cast iron. Additional slots along the outer edge aid in heat dissipation and help maintain a clean braking surface.
Design Highlights
Ventilation-Enhanced Geometry
Strategically placed cross-drilled holes improve airflow and reduce heat buildup during braking.
Precision CAD Modeling
Designed in SolidWorks with accurate dimensions, mounting hole placement, and material thickness for real-world compatibility.
Debris & Water Expulsion
Hole pattern and optional slotting help maintain clean contact between rotor and pad in wet or dirty conditions.
Material Consideration
Modeled for cast iron to balance durability, thermal performance, and manufacturability.
