Project: Prototype
Large-format 3D printing beyond boats: the body of an electric cargo bike printed as one element with an integrated internal structure, ready to receive seats, doors, wheels and forks. Twelve kilograms and twelve hours of printing for a working structural prototype.
Challenges in creating a structural prototype: limited time, scarce budget.
Lightweight for compatibility with electric mobility, capable of absorbing shocks and handling the weight of the rider and materials, easily covered with a wooden structure or another material for decoration.
3D printing of the component directly from the project file, as a single element reinforced by an integrated internal structure.
No use of molds or milling; rapid execution speed for prototype validation; versatility in integrating third-party components such as seats, doors, wheels, and bike forks; extreme simplification of the production process; increased maneuverability of the piece due to its lightness; consistency between design, project, and the final product; minimal processing waste, reduced environmental impact, and improved production process performance in terms of economic and environmental sustainability.
