Alta Plastic Kit

[Mark911]

Injection molding is obviously the best way to go for high volume manufacturing. However, for the qty we're probably talking about here it'd be much easier to simply make a clay mockup of the shrouds on the bike (each side) and splash them to make a mold(s). Then just make them out of carbon fiber. A few weekends invested max. For the most part, any geometry would probably lend itself to this process fairly easily.

Carbon fiber would be pretty fun. Not a lot of weight to be saved, but the cool points would be a big draw!

This was the route I was going, except with fiberglass. After making a master, it's easily cut and then using clay again to fill in the ribs to create a smooth sided shroud with the same mounting points. Then make the master mold out of silicone and do a pressure infused fiberglass or carbon. But if @metallic88 can 3d print the master from his photomodel, you skip the first 3 steps. Just take the 3d print and make the master mold from that. Buying 3d printed parts for something that big would be much more expensive then making a mold for FRP.

How big of a print/build space do you think you would need?

yes i can, i have been printing the alta and ktm parts and modeling them but so far i havent got anything i like lol.

the biggest side is 510mm so you need a big printer(min 450x450x500mm), which mine prints the whole shroud just fine.

If someone has 3D files and a polymer spec I can get a quote turned pretty quick. I own a manufacturing company that handles prototype and production work out of China.

Hello, I'm looking for where to buy rear plastic for mxr. I'm interested in the two license plates and the fender.

Liquid performance (link above) has the left number plate and the rear fender. The right numberplate is no longer available and pretty much no one has any unfortunately.
