Abstract

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is widely used as a method in making rapid prototyping and one that is developed is a bicycle. Balance bike is a type of bicycle that does not use a pedal. Balance bike moves by being pushed with legs while running or walking. One of the most important parts of a bicycle is a tire. However, in reality pneumatic tires have disadvantages in environmental problems. In this study, the tire will be processed with 3D printing using Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filaments in its manufacture. By analyzing several variations of tire geometry designs, namely honeycomb, tweel, diamond and triangle. By testing static load using Ansys simulation software, it is found that airless tire with honeycomb variation is the best in several aspects analyzed such as equivalent stress of 976,190Pa, equivalent elastic strain of 0,00043773m / m, total deformation of 0.000022627m, the best stress-strain curve compare to other design, real weight for scale of 75% by 410 grams, and public survey by 32%. So that this tire is worth printing with the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method.
