Case Study: DAB Motors achieves a million‑option configurable, hand‑built LM‑S and rapid prototyping & certification with SOLIDWORKS

Innovating Fully Configurable, Hand-built, Bespoke Motorcycles With Solidworks Solutions

DAB Motors set out to reinvent the bespoke motorcycle with the LM‑S — a hand‑built bike offering more than a million possible configurations to be selected and ordered online. The company needed to rapidly develop innovative, fully configurable high‑end designs for its web configurator, so it turned to SolidWorks, using SOLIDWORKS Professional for 3D design and SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional for photorealistic rendering.

SolidWorks’ SOLIDWORKS Professional and SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional enabled DAB Motors to design, iterate, render and certify the LM‑S in under a year, while supporting over a million configuration options. By integrating rapid 3D‑printed prototypes and SOLIDWORKS‑driven design iterations, DAB Motors dramatically cut prototyping costs (saving thousands of euros), accelerated development, and achieved EU certification for the final motorcycle.
