Serial parts for bicycles at short lead time and no tooling costs to enable quick design iterations

Summary

Challenge icon

Challenge

Van Raam needed to produce custom, durable bike parts without relying on expensive molds and long production times. Traditional injection molding was costly, time-consuming, and restricted their ability to easily experiment with new designs.

Solution icon

Solution

Van Raam adopted HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology with HP 3D HR PA 12 material to print parts that are durable enough to withstand the weight of a bicycle. This enabled them to produce low volumes of custom parts quickly, while eliminating the need for molds.

Value icon

Value

Using HP MJF technology, Van Raam reduced production costs and lead times, enabling the company to experiment with new designs and parts without waiting for traditional molds. This flexibility helped them scale production and meet on-demand orders efficiently.
