The tunnel boring team from Technical University of Munich brought some hefty luggage to Bastrop, Texas in April 2023 and won its second consecutive Not-a-Boring Competition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chronic traffic congestion causes many problems, including excess pollution, untold quantities of wasted time and energy, and negative psychological effects. To alleviate congestion, people can either travel less or build more avenues, either in the air for flying cars that aren\u2019t yet practical, on the ground with more roads, or\u2026 underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With The Boring Company\u2019s Loop<\/a> now active in Las Vegas, new tunneling systems are already alleviating city traffic. If tunnels\u2019 potential can be fully realized, they could transform cities by providing safe, low-cost, weatherproof, rapid point-to-point transportation for commuters, travelers, and freight, while drastically reducing traffic congestion. Moving more traffic underground would reduce noise and air pollution, would not despoil limited surface land for roadways, and could even free up former streets to be converted to public areas and green spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there\u2019s at least one big roadblock, so to speak: current tunnel boring machines work slower than a snail\u2019s pace, while costing cities huge amounts of money. They can dig only about 20-50 meters a day\u2014less than what some snails can travel in a day. That\u2019s why The Boring Company has sought to harness the innovation of the crowd through its Not-a-Boring Competition<\/a>. The competition\u2019s goal is to catalyze rapid innovation in tunnel boring speed and asks the hundreds of teams from around the world who have entered: \u201cCan you beat the snail?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, so far one institution has showed the most promise, becoming somewhat of a dynasty in winning Hyperloop and tunneling competitions. And it\u2019s largely made up of passionate and driven students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tunneling momentum in Munich<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Technical University of Munich<\/a> (TUM) has a reputation for technological innovation. Since 2015, two products of its design and engineering crucible have dominated Elon Musk\u2019s tunnel transportation competitions. From 2015 to 2019 the TUM Hyperloop<\/a> program won all four of Space X\u2019s Hyperloop Pod Competitions, achieving a record 482 km\/h speed for its pod in the final competition. While TUM Hyperloop is now focused on completing a full-scale Hyperloop test tube with passenger capsule in 2023, the TUM Boring<\/a> non-profit organization patronized by the university concentrates on the effort to shape the future of tunneling technology and build the world\u2019s fastest tunnel boring machine (TBM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its Overall Winner award at the 2023 Not-a-Boring Competition in Bastrop, Texas on April 1, TUM Boring has now won both Not-a-Boring Competitions\u2014continuing the winning tradition that TUM Hyperloop started. TUM Boring won Best Guidance System and Overall Winner at the 2021 contest in Las Vegas, Nevada, which intended to test teams\u2019 ability to create a working TBM, which are very complex builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As challenging as that was, the 2023 competition threw another couple of wrenches in the machine. Unlike in 2021, the 2023 competition measured the teams\u2019 machine setup times, and the boring machines were also required to handle a curved track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New tunnel-boring challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Andrean Tedjojuwono, a mechanical engineer and one of the 30+ student members of TUM Boring in 2023, says the competition this year was more complicated and closer to real-life conditions. \u201cTeams were challenged to create a new TBM concept to bore a curved tunnel that can be easily transported to the project site and quickly installed,\u201d he says. \u201cAs in the real world, the setup time before boring is crucial because it’s a huge source of time loss, leading to substantial financial costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requiring that the teams bore a curved tunnel also mimics true-to-life scenarios, which seldom call for a perfectly straight tunnel. The TBMs also needed to steer accurately both vertically and horizontally. Tedjojuwono was also part of the team in 2021, and he points out that the geological conditions of the ground in 2021 and 2023 radically differed. In 2021, the Las Vegas geology was sandy with some hard caliche mineral rocks embedded, while the geology outside of Austin, Texas in 2023 included a lot of clay with thick grass and grassroots in the upper layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis presented us with the ultimate challenge of introducing newer machine systems to be able to bore tunnels in both geological conditions,\u201d Tedjojuwono says. \u201cImagine a race car that has to compete on both F1-style asphalt and a World Rally Championship (WRC),\u201d where cars drive on real-world roads, often unpaved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going the distance with Fusion 360<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leaders of TUM Boring have credited Autodesk Fusion 360 with helping them keep a monumental technical project organized, where dozens of students worked on many different machine systems simultaneously.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

TUM Boring\u2019s TBM is a massive machine\u201440 feet long and 22 tons\u2014transported in a cargo container, and it includes many systems all working together: cutterhead, steering, laser guidance system, control, propulsion, material removal, power, and a pipe-segment revolver. Because of the new requirements of the 2023 Not-a-Boring Competition, Tedjojuwono says many of the systems needed to be reengineered, like the material removal, cable management, and tunnel structure systems. \u201cThanks to Fusion 360, we could pull it off,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, the TUM competition teams have relied on Autodesk Fusion 360<\/a>, which allows a team of dozens of students to collaborate remotely with cloud-based data syncing. TUM Boring uses Fusion 360 to integrate all of its project components, which makes its TBM one of the most complex Fusion 360 setups in existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2023 competition, TUM Boring\u2019s machine tunneled almost 12 meters, and Tedjojuwono says it was the only team in the contest that was able to dig a tunnel because of the TBM\u2019s reliability. He attributes that reliability in large part to Fusion 360\u2019s simulation capabilities, which allowed the team to test every machine part, spot potential mechanical failures, and make last-minute modifications to eliminate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFusion 360 has an excellent user interface and puts an increased focus on teamwork,\u201d he says. \u201cOur engineers can not only work on their own parts, but also are able to easily see the general design overview of the machine. This way, we can easily reassign engineers to work on designing high-priority machine parts without trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TUM Boring\u2019s partnership with Autodesk also helped the non-profit in procuring some additional support from its long list of industrial partners, says Benedikt Seel, a board member of the team. The Autodesk media team helped TUM Boring with using Fusion 360\u2019s rendering features to create high-definition 3D imagery. \u201cThis very much helped us when talking to potential sponsors and external companies,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The path to not-a-boring career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TUM Boring\u2019s relationships with industrial partners helped not only with its giant TBM undertaking, but they also provided relationship-building opportunities to students on the team, many of whom received job offers before graduating, according to Tedjojuwono. Working with TUM Boring on a large, fully functional project with the potential to impact the future of mobility builds industry-relevant skills and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cI learned a lot of project management skills, communication skills, and other soft skills not included in my major that will very much help me in my future,\u201d Tedjojuwono says. \u201cMachines of this financial magnitude and engineering complexity are not usually designed by students. I feel very privileged to be able to design highly complex machine parts that require many different engineering disciplines and piece them together into one. If not for this project, I wouldn’t have the chance to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
