Innovative Car Door Linkage

February 24, 2025/by Prof. McCarthy

Austin Suh has designed this innovative car door linkage. He built a prototype that demonstrates this movement next to his Honda Civic for comparison. The 3D printed PLA linkage sits in one corner and lifts the door up and over the car. It is driven by a DC gear motor through a crank-rocker, which provides a back and forth movement for the demonstration.
