Functional TPU Automotive Adapter

Self-initiated design of a flexible automotive adapter developed to replace and extend an existing control interface without permanent modification to the vehicle. The part was modelled around the original geometry and designed as a single TPU component. The work included interface measurement, parametric CAD, fit and retention design, additive-manufacturing considerations, printing, installation and physical validation. The final component uses material flexibility to simplify assembly and maintain retention without additional fasteners. TOOLS SolidWorks / Autodesk Inventor, FDM 3D printing DELIVERABLES Parametric CAD model, STEP, STL/3MF and physical prototype OUTCOME Printed, installed and functionally tested on the vehicle.
