During the pandemic, Toronto increased its bike lanes to offer accessible biking within the city. Many Torontonians have embraced biking as an alternative to driving or public transportation. In celebration of this, I designed + 3D printed bike accessories to help people carry their stuff while en route.
P R I N T - The commuter crate & pannier are printed flat using the Kuka150 robot with the pellet extruder tool attachment.
F O L D - Using a heat gun along the fold axis, the material becomes malleable and can be folded into shape. Tabs incorporated into the design join the different faces, providing structural rigidity and an accent detail. No glue or hardware required.
