Abstract: The main goal of the article is to describe the development and production of a prototype of an additional system for wheel motor bearing protection using additive technologies. These technologies include rapid prototyping and vacuum casting. These technologies greatly facilitate and speed up the whole process of developing a new component. Before the development itself, it was necessary to digitize the wheel hub using reverse engineering technology. Using a 3D scanner, a part model was created, based on which an additional system for wheel bearing protection was designed for the CAD system. The dimensional analysis of the produced prototypes was performed. Prototypes of the protection system made of different materials will be tested in common operation conditions.
