Airless Tire with rim printed with Quad-Extruder
Description
The wheel, consisting of a tire and rim, was printed on the Multirap M500 quad extruder combining three materials printed at once: Multec PLA Soft 120, Multec PLA and Multec Smartsupport filament. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AndkALy4_YA This prototype effectively demonstrates the simplicity and speed of 3D printing flexible parts in mass production or as single units. A new feature shown in this tire is the combination of rim, tire and support material in a single print, without any cleaning, reworking or gluing. In the airless principle, the "air" as a necessary component of the tire is replaced by an internal support framework. Based on this same principle, other components made from high-strength and flexible materials can also be produced during a single printing process. It is designed for the dog wheelchair we use for our two legged dog Luisa (see our wheelchair design)
