TUCAB® supports the TLMoto project: innovation, engineering and mobility of the future
Innovation happens when the industry approaches new generations — and TUCAB® is proud to have supported yet another initiative that combines engineering, creativity and advanced technology. The TLMoto project, developed by students dedicated to the design, prototyping and construction of an electric motorcycle, is an inspiring example of how digital manufacturing is transforming technical training and the development of mobility solutions.
As an official sponsor, TUCAB® contributed FIL3D® 3D printing filament, used in the production of essential components for the prototype, from structural elements to functional parts and technical accessories. This partnership reinforces the company's commitment to supporting projects that promote knowledge, sustainability and intelligent manufacturing.
3D printing as a central tool in modern engineering
The TLMoto team integrated 3D printing at various stages of development, standing out for the speed, precision and flexibility that this technology offers. With FIL3D® filament, students were able to:
-
Produce parts with excellent dimensional quality;
-
Test different geometries and prototypes in a short space of time;
-
Integrate lightweight and efficient solutions for the motorcycle design;
-
Validate concepts before final production of each component.
By providing high-performance filament — such as PLA and PETG — TUCAB® ensured that the team had materials that were up to the technical challenges required by the competition.
A partnership that boosts national talent and technology
In addition to supporting the execution of the TLMoto project, TUCAB® reinforces its mission of bringing industry closer to the academic environment, contributing for the development of skills in areas such as:
-
additive manufacturing,
-
mechanical engineering,
-
polymeric materials,
-
industrial design,
-
sustainability.
We believe that initiatives like this create a direct impact on the formation of future engineers, stimulating innovation and promoting more efficient and technological production practices.
Electric mobility and the future of engineering
The construction of this electric motorcycle represents much more than a prototype: it demonstrates the ability of new generations to develop solutions aimed at sustainable mobility, combining engineering, creativity and reduced environmental impact. TUCAB® is proud to support projects that contribute to a more efficient, technological and responsible future.
Continuous commitment to innovation
As a Portuguese company with almost three decades of experience in plastic extrusion and manufacturing materials for 3D printing, TUCAB® will continue to support initiatives that value knowledge, promote creativity and strengthen the connection between industry and academia.
“We believe in young talent. We believe in Portuguese engineering. And we will continue to invest in those who build the future.” — TUCAB®
