Project Description
AM-PED is the result of an experimentation on additive manufacturing driven design performed in the context of bike components. The design rethinks the design of a bicycle pedal, crank arm and chain ring element focusing and exploiting the fabrication possibilities of AM.
The use of topological optimization, case specific structural optimization and lattice structure integration expands the possibilities of bike component design, highlighting the need for lightweight and highly performative solutions that can be achieved only leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies.
TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION
The final design has been obtained through an iterative workflow involving topological optimization under different load case scenarios.
LATTICE STRUCTURE
The pedal design leverages multi resolution lattice structures to optimize grip quality and distribution of loads.
DESIGN FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
The crank arm geoemtrical conformation is optimized for serial fabrication using additive manufacturing.
