We have been collaborating with Scomadi, a company renowned for its high-quality scooters, since 2010. Scomadi sought our expertise to transition from hand-built scooters to mass production using advanced 3D CAD modeling and injection molding design. This project aimed to streamline product development, enhance design precision, and enable large-scale manufacturing
Transition from Hand-Built to Mass Production:
Converting hand-built scooters into designs suitable for mass production required precise modeling and tooling.
Reverse Engineering:
Accurate laser scanning and traditional measurement techniques were needed to create detailed 3D CAD models from existing hand-built components.
Tooling Accuracy:
Ensuring the 3D CAD data was flawless was critical, given the high cost of injection molding tools, which amounted to approximately £1 million.
Design surfacing Quality:
Creating class A surface models to maintain curvature continuity and aesthetic quality in the body panels.
Initial Consultation and Relationship Building:
Established a strong working relationship with Scomadi to understand their needs and objectives.
Developed a strategic plan to create detailed CAD models of the scooters for tooling and production
Reverse Engineering and CAD Modeling:
Conducted laser scanning and traditional measurements of the hand-built scooters to capture accurate component geometries.
Transformed the scanned data into 3D parametric CAD models, creating a master model encompassing all components.
Enabled rapid product development and iterative design changes using the 3D model before building prototypes.
Design Optimization and Tooling:
Optimized designs based on feedback from design reviews, simulations, and analyses.
Developed class A surface models for body panels, ensuring high-quality finishes and maintaining curvature continuity.
Collaborated with Far East molders to ensure the 3D surface data was precise for cutting injection molding tools.
Production and Continuous Improvement:
Launched production scooters, starting with the TL 50cc/125cc models.
Monitored the production process, making necessary adjustments to ensure quality and efficiency.
Continued collaboration with Scomadi on future projects to further innovate and expand their product range.
