Michelin is exploring this potential with its Vision concept tire that is airless, 3D printed, equipped with sensors, biodegradable, and not just a tire, but a tire and wheel in one.
Tank treads see a lot of variation, from 3D printed designs for tracks that use a piece of filament as hinges to an attempt to use a conveyor belt as a tank tread for a go-kart.
To show off its new TPU filament called PRO FLEX, BigRep GmbH posted a video showing a 3D printed bike tire that uses a flexible plastic structure instead of air. The video shows them driving the b… ...
Michelin's visionary concept tyre is 3D printed so when the tread becomes worn it can be printed on again, meaning you'd never need to replace the tyre.
After months of trial and error, I was finally able to drive my car using only 3D printed wheels and tyres!
Vision is the world’s first tire that recharges. With the aid of 3D printers, it is possible to use just the right amount of rubber on the tire and thus extend its life depending on needs.
Ford says it has developed a 3D-printed locking wheel nut made using a unique biometric signature based on the driver’s recorded voice in a bid to prevent wheel and tire thefts. Ford worked with ...
A drift team armed with a 3D printer has started experimenting with producing their very own aero wheel covers.
The tread on the Vision is rechargeable. Michelin says that 3D printing stations can replace tread using a minimal amount of rubber.
The new Michelin VISION concept is a 3D-printed, airless, wheel-tire combination composed of organic, biodegradable materials, including orange zest, bamboo, molasses, wood, and natural rubber.
Through the project, ORNL and NASA engineers also explored printing precise design features, such as angled sidewalls, a domed shape and wavy tread to increase the wheel’s stiffness.
