Abstract: Aspects are provided herein for vehicle structures. The vehicle structures can include a caliper portion configured to apply a braking force, the caliper portion including an inner housing, an outer housing, and a bridge portion, wherein the bridge portion connects the inner housing and the outer housing. In various embodiments, the outer housing can include an inner surface configured to face a rotor, in which the inner surface includes a sweep area configured to allow the rotor to tilt during installation and removal of the rotor. The vehicle structures can further include an upright portion configured to couple to a wheel of a vehicle, the upright portion being connected to the inner housing. Further, the vehicle structure can include a stiffening portion that connects the upright portion to at least the bridge portion or the outer housing. In various embodiments, the vehicle structures can be 3D-printed.
