A screw… but giant!

In GIVEN do not just motorcycles, but design projects in general, We realized for the company EJOT a prototype very unusual, it is a screw on the size never seen, whose height is 1,60m for weight 290kg. This project has served the company to beat a World lifting records, and I would say that we were able to meet the customer's expectations both from the weight standpoint reached, obbligatorimente 300 kg, with the ability to change it to + -20kg, both from the point of view of aesthetics final.

As a first step, we first carried out a study of design ed engineering. This was a mandatory step but crucial since it allows to better evaluate the possible procedures to be carried out for the realization of the object; especially if, as in this case, They are required many operations and many processes. The approach differs depending on the project you have in front, in our case allowed us to evaluate a realization through a mix of techniques and materials.

The soul of the screw is composed of a block of steel settled, They have been pasted on the surface of stampe 3D that are going to reconstruct the appearance of the vine. These external parts were printed in PLA da November “in home” dove, After a few weeks of release, They have been sanded, pasted steel, grouted and finally painted. During the assembly and construction of the screw, a continuous weight monitoring has enabled us to keep under control the screw, while confirming the engineering studies previously.

The same procedure was done for the trolley, the beams of steel They have been welded among them (so as to be able to act both as a support for the screw that transport) and subsequently painted red.

Here are the images that illustrate the various steps undertaken to implement the prototype.

Stay tuned and stay up to date, a similar project ( if not even more bizarre) could knock on our door at any moment.

Just returned from EICMA 2017

A beautiful gallery of photos of the event EICMA at the UM Global stand that saw us partakers of the creation of the prototype that you can see in the pictures and the preparation of the "Customization Corner". The aim of both projects was to assess the Italian market response to the motion produced UM and also to analyze the new possibilities offered by customization "on demand" linked to modern prototyping and 3D printing techniques.

The results in terms of public response has been extremely rewarding.
Thanks to those who went to greet us and to see what we did.

Just returned from EICMA 2016

We are having just returned from EICMA 2016, we still have hands stiff from all the shaking exchanged hands, a heart full of emotion and pride for the many compliments received.
We want to thank everyone who came to visit and associate all those who could not come.

Thank you

100_1751Motorcycle Design Association brief description

"Motorcycle design is a unique and highly specialized area, yet there has previously been no central body to represent the cause, an omission which has been to the detriment of both designers and manufacturers alike.

As a result, the Motorcycle Design Association was created in 2001 by co-founders Glynn Kerr and Francois-Marie Dumas. The aims of the association are to bring together motorcycle designers of all nationalities, to promote their activities and to ease communication between designers and potential clients. We are also effective in promoting students' work, and helping create links between colleges and the motorcycle industry.

The Association now boasts a membership of over 150 members, including freelance designers, engineers, modelmakers and design studios all over the world."
