MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521132836 A) filed by Siddhant Dimplekumar Shah, Surat, Gujarat, on Dec. 29, 2025, for 'non-pneumatic tire employing a modified honeycomb cellular architecture fabricated via additive manufacturing.'
Inventor(s) include Siddhant Dimplekumar Shah.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a non-pneumatic tire, designed to overcome the limitations of ride comfort and uncontrolled deformation in airless tires. The invention features a novel deformable support structure comprising a modified hexagonal honeycomb architecture. The tire comprises an inner hub, an outer shear band, and a plurality of connecting spokes formed as a unitary body. This architecture utilizes spoke elements rather than rigid straight spokes, enabling a predictable, multi-stage non-linear deformation behavior that improves shock absorption and load stability. The tire is fabricated using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) from Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). This material-process combination imparts high fatigue resistance, superior vibration damping due to viscoelasticity, and allows for the precise tuning of structural stiffness through variable infill densities. The result is a puncture-proof tire that offers a smooth ride comparable to pneumatic tires while maintaining the durability required for off-road and industrial applications."
