Successful businesses on a small budget
You we present briefly Rehook success story who wanted to bring on market a bicycle chain reattachment tool.
From a very low budget
(under 5000 euro)
With the help of 3D printing technologies they succeeded in developing the tool, market testing and launching the new product in just 10 weeks, with a budget of under 5000 euro, which would not have been possible with traditional production methods.
Within just 12 months of starting the product design, several thousand have been sold.
3D printing the May Hello to production small-medium
Comparison table between 3D printing and injection molding.
The In the beginning, FFF/FDM technology was used to produce prototypes initial the a reduced price.
May then SLS has been selected ca manufacturing solution for initial production , this technology provides o range large of strong and functional materials and is the May suitable for the production of average volume.
Using 3D printing allowed the design to be modified, at no cost to change the mold and in very short time ( 1-2 days!)
Furthermore, SLS technology significantly reduces production costs compared to traditional manufacturing methods. By eliminating the need for expensive tooling and reducing excess materials,
SLS offers a more efficient production process. This efficiency not only accelerates product development time, but also increases the ability to customize products without substantial cost increases, providing a competitive advantage in both time and expense.
