Tectrax

We were approached by Tectrax in May of 2017 to assist with the mechanical aspects of their proposed drive system for amphibious boats. In particular the retractable legs that raised and lowered the wheels. The brief given was specific and clear that the preferred design of the front arm would be in a vertical motion. They also had an initial concept of how that would work. 3DM Design’s Initial investigation of this concept revealed the action of the link arms could not create enough vertical movement to raise and lower a boat the required distance.
