Motorcycle concept

Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands offers education for an academic degree in Industrial Design Engineering. One of the courses given is CAD modelling of complex surfaces, including the creation of a few foam models of the resulting geometry. Currently both Amapi and Rhino are used as CAD systems, and DeskProto for the prototyping part.

The images show the results achieved by student Sonny Lim. He modelled a futurist motorbike, using the Honda Zodia design study as a lead. Obviously (as it is a short course only) this is one of the more detailed resulting models. In addition to Amapi he used 3D Studio, to model the engine and to calculate renderings. The resulting geometry from 3D Studio could be easily processed by DeskProto.
