The CRP team 3D printed the cover for the wipers starter motor using the polyamide-based carbon fiber reinforced composite material Windform® XT 2.0. The material allowed designers to create the look they desired while maintaining the functionality and electromagnetic compatibility needed to support the oscillatory movement of the motor. The strength and stiffness of the materials hold up to the stress and vibrations experienced on the roads.
The washer reservoir flap valve was created from the polyamide-based glass fiber-reinforced composite material Windform® LX 3.0, allowing quick access to the component while also meeting the aesthetics required and protecting the part.
The parts were installed on the Olli 2.0 and tested by Local Motors with excellent results.
