MotoS
MOTORCYCLE DESIGN SMALL SCALE MODELMAKING, 3D MODELING
Embedded Files
MotoS is a 1:20 scale model café racer. It is constructed primarily of 3D printed parts interference fitted using wooden dowels. It was an exercise on small scale modelmaking and assembly; the springs on the bike are taken from ballpoint pens and the belt drive is a rubber elastic.

1 month (May 2021)
Skills Developed:
3D modeling of complex forms and assemblies using Shapr3D
3D FDM printing
GD&T to allow for optimum assembly
PROCESS
MotoS started as a sketch for a café racer with an "S" shaped design element that integrated the seat and rear wheel.
Reference images were used as a guide to basic proportions and rider ergonomics. Using Shapr3D, the design underwent iterations as a combined result of aesthetics and 3D printability. For example, the white stripe in the fuselage serves as an aesthetic element but it was the result of splitting the fuselage into three separate components to allow for support-less 3D printing. Augmented reality technology was used to view the 3D model in real world settings and verify dimensions and proportions. This ensured that 3D printed parts would fit as expected during the final assembly.
