Motorcycle Exhaust End Cap
3D printing technology is not only used on production lines, but is also the best solution for the production of individual motorcycle spare parts. Motorcycle owners know best how many hours you can spend repairing, cleaning or tuning your vehicles to make them look their best. Thanks to 3D printing technology, you can quickly and cheaply produce many motorcycle gadgets, such as a phone holder, side foot stand or helmet hanger.
An OMNI3D employee was able to design and print a component that effectively replaces the broken end exhaust end cap of his motorcycle. The 3D printing specialist knew best that the printed element should be made of a durable, but also heat-resistant filament (exhaust gas temperature reaches 300°C). The extension of the range of filaments increased the possibilities of 3D printing, even in such demanding applications.
The prototype was printed with CF PA-12, which was quickly tested for form and function. An additional benefit in designing the element was the possibility to create a new design. This confirms that industrial 3D printers provide extraordinary opportunities to create and improve elements in a very short time.
