E-moto AGH, a team of students from the Polish Academy of Science and Technology, designed and built an electric off-road motorcycle. The students not only managed to prove the benefits of alternative energy sources, they also learned how to apply the latest solutions, such as the Sinterit Lisa Pro desktop SLS 3D printer. For the most part, the motorbike was created in the laboratory of the academy.

“We spend most of our time in the workshop,” says team leader David Senko. “Our project is the creation of electric motorcycles. Two bikes are now ready: with a capacity of eight and thirty kilowatts.”

The E-moto AGH team builds their bikes from scratch. Many parts are made by hand, for example, using vacuum forming or machining. The rest of the parts are 3D printed. Students use several printers, mostly of FDM type. But there was a special task for which the technology of selective laser sintering was employed.

“We needed to print a heatsink housing, and SLS is the best fit for this purpose, because prints are durable and some parameters are more predictable than FDM,” says Jakub Sobański. “It is also very important that we can use a wide range of powders.”
