Newton Works' Participation in Student Formula Japan 2026

This August, Newton Works Corporation, based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, will make its first appearance at the Student Formula Japan 2026 as an official sponsor. Having supported the event since the previous year through their dedication to providing developmental assistance to participating teams, they are now set to introduce a corporate booth at the competition, held at the Aichi Sky Expo.

As part of this initiative, the booth will feature an overview of Newton Works, alongside demonstrations of the 1DCAE simulation tool, "SimulationX," and the structural optimization software, "OPTISHAPE-TS." These tools are essential for aiding students in their engineering challenges, helping nurture the next generation of engineers.

Background of Participation

The Student Formula competition presents an opportunity for young talent in Japan to showcase their ingenuity by designing and manufacturing small racing cars. This event not only fosters innovation but also positions itself as a crucial platform for encouraging the country’s manufacturing industry. Newton Works has been actively involved since 2025, emphasizing the importance of supporting this initiative through its "Student Formula Support Project."

The collaboration with key software developers, such as Keysight Technologies and Quint, has enabled the provision of free software licenses for students. This support extends to holding workshops and offering technical backup, ensuring that students can maximize their use of these advanced tools.

Now in its second year as a sponsor, Newton Works is eager to broaden its outreach by participating in its first-ever corporate booth. This setup offers an invaluable chance to interact with teams that previously had no contact with the company. Newton Works aims to directly introduce their solutions and support mechanisms during the event, ultimately enhancing the efficiency of vehicle development for these aspiring engineers.

Featured Products at the Booth

At their booth, Newton Works will showcase two pivotal simulation software solutions:

1DCAE Software: "SimulationX"

This product developed by Keysight Technologies is a user-friendly 1DCAE tool, allowing engineers to model behavior and specifications of entire vehicle systems like powertrains and suspensions during earlier development stages. Newton Works will explain how this software is utilized in real-world vehicle development alongside their support offerings.

Structural Optimization Software: "OPTISHAPE-TS"

Developed by Quint, this cutting-edge software specializes in topology optimization and shape optimization essential for achieving lightweight yet rigid designs in formula cars. Attendees can learn about its significance in designing frames and components, demonstrating how it aids in meeting the design demands of racing cars.

Ongoing Support and Future Commitment

Newton Works remains committed to supporting the Student Formula initiative through sponsorship and participation in future events. They encourage all attendees of the competition to visit their booth to explore the tools and support available, which can significantly enhance their educational experiences and projects.
