The Mecanum Wheel Basic is a mechanical design study focused on the development of an omnidirectional wheel system commonly used in robotics, automated guided vehicles, and advanced mobility platforms. Modeled in Autodesk Inventor and prepared for visualization in 3ds Max, the project emphasizes functional engineering, manufacturability, and clean mechanical construction.

Particular attention was given to roller placement, hub integration, mounting geometry, rotational clearances, and the relationship between wheel structure and multidirectional movement capability. The study investigates how individual roller assemblies interact to enable precise motion control while maintaining structural reliability and mechanical efficiency.

The clay presentation highlights form development, engineering precision, and surface continuity without the influence of materials, reflections, or textures. This allows the wheel’s construction logic, mechanical architecture, and overall silhouette to remain the primary focus of the study.
