About PIX Beastie Two Seater Electric Vehicle
PIX Beastie is a two seater electric vehicle designed for travel in dense urban areas. The compact form is inspired by the skeletal structure of a dinosaur skull. The body and chassis are produced entirely with industrial metal 3D printing, guided by generative design and structural optimization. The process allows complex organic geometries that are light in weight and strong. LED lights at the rear can show chosen patterns or text. The dashboard is modular, so the interior can be adjusted and decorated. Home charging is supported.
Pix Moving's PIX Beastie Two Seater Electric Vehicle emerges from contemporary traditions of urban mobility innovation, where compact personal transportation intersects with sustainable design philosophy and character-driven product aesthetics. The vehicle's formal achievement lies in its successful synthesis of seemingly contradictory design imperatives: technological sophistication paired with approachable warmth, compact efficiency married to sculptural presence, and functional pragmatism balanced against expressive personality. The metallic body shell demonstrates sophisticated surface development, with compound curves transitioning seamlessly across panels while maintaining legible structural articulation at strategic seams and intersections. The chromatic strategy proves particularly noteworthy, employing a neutral silver-gray foundation that permits the warm orange-gold wheel covers to function as signature accent elements, their geometric quadrant divisions introducing visual rhythm and brand-recognizable character. The glazed canopy area, rendered in translucent neutral tones, creates interior-exterior dialogue while maintaining the protective enclosure essential to occupant comfort. Cyan illumination elements at the headlamps and body accent points introduce a cool technological counterpoint, suggesting advanced lighting systems and digital-age sensibilities. The anthropomorphic quality of the frontal aspect, with its circular lamp eyes positioned above a subtly smiling lower intake, participates in established traditions of character design within automotive styling, creating emotional connection and perceived friendliness that may reduce psychological barriers to new mobility paradigms. The vehicle's proportional system emphasizes vertical compactness and tight wheel-to-body relationships, communicating urban agility and parking efficiency through visual language alone. The presentation against white ground isolates these formal achievements for contemplation, inviting viewers to consider how such design innovations might reshape personal transportation landscapes and contribute to more harmonious urban environments.

- Production Technology
- It combines generative design with industrial metal 3D printing, leveraging AI powered simulation design and structural topology optimization to maximize material performance and utilization, achieving both lightweight construction and enhanced strength. The simulation design helps identify weak points in the structure and optimize them, ensuring the vehicle maintains both aesthetics and functionality while achieving high strength and material efficiency. The body and chassis are entirely made using 3D printing technology, providing the vehicle with a unique structure and flexibility, breaking the limitations of traditional manufacturing.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was integrating the biomimetic design with practical automotive manufacturing. Our goal was to create a body structure that is both aesthetic, efficient, and durable. However, the complex organic shapes and unconventional angles posed challenges in 3D printing. We overcame these challenges by using algorithms to adjust material distribution and printing angles, ensuring the design remained visually appealing, structurally strong, and optimized for the best printing results and stability.
- Project Duration
- The project started in June 2023 in China and completed the development phase in June 2024. The prototype was first exhibited at the Okinawa Expo in Japan in November 2024. It will be showcased next at the IAA Mobility exhibition in Germany in September 2025.
- Operation Flow
- It is a micro electric vehicle designed for urban travel, offering simple operation similar to a regular car. Its main features include lightweight construction and high efficiency, providing a smooth and comfortable driving experience, especially for navigating narrow city streets with ease. It comes with an AI voice assistant that offers driving support and emotional companionship through voice commands. Additionally, it supports home charging, delivering superior performance and energy efficiency compared to traditional cars, ensuring an exceptional user experience.
- Research
- Our research focused on designing an innovative urban mobility solution. The goal was to create a lightweight, efficient, and environmentally friendly electric vehicle using advanced technologies. We employed generative design and AI powered simulations to optimize structure and performance. Data was collected through prototyping and testing, focusing on material efficiency and user experience. Key participants included automotive engineers, industrial designers, and AI experts. Results showed significant improvements in strength, material usage, and energy efficiency, impacting automotive design and urban mobility.
- Inspiration
- Observing that most vehicles today are monotonous, we envisioned a highly personalized mode of transportation. Inspired by the biomechanical efficiency of dinosaur skulls, we created a vehicle that is not only durable and efficient but also stands out on the street, symbolizing both identity and attitude. Recognizing the challenges of narrow streets and limited parking in many European cities, we aimed to design a compact, efficient vehicle to help people navigate urban environments with ease.
Through AI powered generative design and industrial metal 3D printing, we achieved complex organic geometries that seamlessly combine functionality, aesthetics, and innovation, resulting in a design unattainable through traditional methods.
