TE Connectivity, a Swiss electronics solutions company created a Harley-Davidson Softail from technology 3D printing machine. The main objective is not to create a motor show off, but to show how the print engine is very advanced.
Of course not all parts of the body in the motor weighing 181 kg was purely the result of 3D printing machine. Mechanical parts such as electric motors, batteries, tires, wheels, braking systems, timing belt, and the suspension using original components of motorcycles taken from aftermarket products.
The part that was actually printed using a 3D engine and a chassis just behind the front fender. TE Connectivity said it took 1,000 hours to test the chassis and spent US $ 25 thousand or equivalent to Rp 330 million to build this bike.
Remarkably these motors can be fully functional and run like a regular motor. Although nothing special, driving power is supplied from an electric motor that produces 750 watts of power 1 hp, and capable of driving up to a speed of 24 km / h.
TE Connectivity said it is not going to sell motorcycle creation, because 3D printing machine to make the motor is still under development. However, the seriousness of the company has brought 3D printing machine technology into a new stage.
