Design & Concept

Given is an Italian company that deals with design, prototyping and creation of customized and innovative motorcycles. Our passion for two wheels pushes us to experiment with new solutions and create unique and original projects, that express our vision and our style.

Our concepts are the fruit of our imagination and our expertise, but also of dialogue and collaboration with our customers, who entrust us with their ideas and needs. Every concept is a challenge, an opportunity to test our creativity and professionalism.

Among our concepts, there are those who have created real and functioning models, like the CR&S DUU, o la Matchless Model X Reloaded.

There are also those that have remained at the stage of sketches or scale models, but which are no less interesting or suggestive for this reason. These are concepts that explore different types of motorcycles, like the cafe racer, le scrambler, the bobbers, le streetfighter, the enduros, le custom, the sportsman. Concepts inspired by various styles and influences, like vintage, the modern, the futuristic, the minimalist, the back. Concepts that use different materials and components, like steel, aluminium, carbon fiber, the wood, the leather, the internal combustion engine, the electric motor.

Our concepts are our business card, our way of showing the world our passion and talent. They are also our way of inviting those who share our passion to contact us and let us know their desires and expectations. We are always ready to listen to your proposals and turn them into reality.

The phases of the machining

We can cure phase Concept o Advanced concept trying to interpret the stylistic requirements of the customer, current and especially future trends, the actual technique and near future.
We try to do all this with a mind free from preconceptions, creating objects that have feet on the ground only to the extent required by the customer, in the absence of explicit requests we orient ourselves towards a Advanced concept which can be much more challenging for us and for the end user.

Our process first analysis of a project:

GIVEN PROJECT FORM

Project briefing	Customer name	Project Codename
Market analysis	Age	referral market	Final cost	Gender	Usage Tipology
Customer analysis	Industrial capabilities	Production capabilities	Reselling capabilities
Product analysis	segment	Carriage capabilities	Performance/Fashion	Weight	Materials	Engine

A draft Concept or Advanced concept can be expressed in analog form (rendering in pencil), digitale 2D o 3D (Static digital rendering or video) or in the form of mockup depending on the needs and the level of development required.
We can take care of all these phases, or only some of them: we have the means, the skills and the necessary creativity. We can treat only the initial concept, both in advanced form (so no real relevance, but only the study of shapes and design research) in that narrow shape (therefore already have a first look at the future implementation criteria).

Modelleria Clay

Clay

One of the most important steps in motorcycle design is certainly build a model "Clay".

The so-called "automotive clay" It is a synthetic clay developed in the 70s specifically for the transportation design sector, It has the characteristic, compared to clay (Clay editor's note) Traditional to be reshaped infinite number of times and being thermoplastic, then soft and mouldable at the working temperature (55/65 degrees) is hard, compact and milled at ambient temperature.

This allows maximum freedom to the modeler, and it allows him to be able to give to the artifact exactly the desired shape, with a precision of a few tenths of a millimeter by simply using the modeling tools or removal.
Once we achieved the desired shape can proceed with an evaluation stage via "HighLight Wall", where by means of special lights and special coatings (in film or paint) we can evaluate the formal correctness of the surface. The other evaluation we can do, together with the customer is obviously the aesthetic and ergonomic, checking that the shape and the volumes are correct, engaging and proportionally fair.

If changes were to be requested, It will not be a problem, return to "Clay Room" and reshaping the object according to the new criteria.
The Clay is a very long and complex process, that requires much skill and dexterity, also it requires a two-phase computer design, in the first instance in the style of phase with a CAS / CAM analysis which allows to have a clear idea of what we are to achieve, and derive suitably dimensioned media, Finally, in the final abutment of the surface it requires a transformation process in the 3D model (Reverse Engineering), it also very long and complex, so its cost is definitely high and it is recommended (in our opinion) only in some cases it is not possible to proceed with the most direct ways.

For companies or individuals wishing to give shape to their ideas or simply curious to see them come to life, we are here to make scale prototypes 1:1 with impeccable style and incredible precision thanks to our prototyping and production skills.

We start from scratch or from your drawings, ensuring prototypes that best capture the essence of the idea. Using cutting-edge materials such as aluminum, iron or customized structures, we can create tailor-made solutions for each project.

The aesthetic part is equally fundamental, and we express ourselves through a variety of techniques, from classic Clay work to 3D printing and other advanced forms of prototyping. The result? The realization of your visions.

We are committed to reducing processing times without sacrificing quality, because we know how important it is to meet deadlines for your projects, which often arise just a few weeks after salons or presentations.

Trust our passion and expertise in creating prototypes and maquettes, where your concepts come to life with a touch of magic. We are ready to explore new horizons with you, turning ideas into concrete reality. Contact us to shape your future!

Mockup digitale

The digital mockup is our strength. And 'the last frontier in the field of motorcycle design and is also its natural digital evolution.

The digital mockup is a process by which companies that want to produce a motorcycle can avoid the classical phase mockup in clay, the phase of restyling and Accommodation Prototype, but also the complicated, slow and expensive step of scanning and reverse engineering. This can be translated to a company in an average savings of 4/6 months on TTM (Time To Market) and a cost saving of about 80 / 120,000 € . Today this process can be very suitable for companies with small productions or frequent redesign or reduced product margins.

Thanks to our design sensibility and our display systems, as well as our 3D scanning systems, we can design a completely digital mockup, with already some attention to the engineering, if this is not sufficient, we can quickly create a scale model 1:1 or reduced with prototyping techniques, to best display the final result.
What we realize in digital we have a perfect stylistic consistency and proportions for a possible real model.

Product Operation:

the anti-lock braking system (MABS) It is designed specifically for motorcycles, considering the dynamics of the vehicle and the characteristics of the braking system.
Relying on the state of the braked wheel movement (read every millisecond) from the wheel speed sensor, l 'ABS adjusts the braking torque to prevent the wheels from locking.
This is a closed loop control system, and can have the following advantages:

The stability of the vehicle can be ensured at any time of braking.
The distance of the braking can be shortened by making a full use of the rubber-ground grip.

Design needs Engineering

What distinguishes us from other motorcycle enthusiasts, It is that we like to get our hands dirty with grease and oil, worship chip, but we are also fanatics computer design! So our first approach to designing is computerized and especially 3D mode. With our software and hardware and with our hands we create surfaces in class A or B, Solid or simply by rendering models that are both beautiful but also and above all functional. Functional means that you can send them directly to a mill, a 5 axes or a rendering machine, and you will not have weight problems, undercuts, or other.

Application development and 3D configurator

Thanks to our experience in motorcycle design, in design and style and three-dimensional modeling, we have developed a 3D configurator which can be declined as motion configurator, car configurator or more generically as product configurator. In reality, to be more precise, It is a fully configured platform for multiple types of objects, primarily obviously she motorcycles capable of operating on various platforms.

Because our 3D configurator?

Unlike conventional configuration systems, ours is much more extensive and modular but especially evolvable in time in a very simple way.

This system translates into a tool, for manufacturers of motorcycles (or other products), extremely useful and effective.

Functionality 3D configurator:

With our system the customer can easily insert them in the configuration container:

Multiple models or variants, evolve them over time and details (such costs, currencies, localizations etc.)
Systems for monitoring and tracking end-user data (Geolocation, addresses and preferences ...)
lists updated in real-time multi-currency
Connecting and Configuring directly into Dealer Corner
Online purchase
immersive systems for events, exhibitions and presentations
of Graphics Updates, accessories, colors and of course models
Model Year Change

At the fair ?

Our 3D configurator runs on two monitors, a control and a display, in this way, the user experience is not exclusive, but it involves the entire audience!

3D Print – Prototyping, CNC and fast technologies

Prototyping is a key component of our work, we use it to evaluate the goodness of the pieces designed before proceeding with the actual construction, the use for small series of pieces where it is not justified the cost of a mold, we use it to make an initial visual assessment, functional, dimensional.

For some prototypes we are organized in house in order to make fast the first phase of testing, other features will provide some specialist suppliers with whom we have a direct line and thanks to which we are developing a lot of knowledge in this sector still strong growth.
