Case Study: Stelbel achieves ultralight, high-performance racing bicycle components with Desktop Metal Shop System binder jetting

Stelbel reduces racing bike part production time and cost with Desktop Metal binder jetting

The customer, Stelbel, a leading manufacturer of high-end racing bicycles, faced challenges in producing components that were lightweight, high-performance, and customizable. Traditional manufacturing methods like CNC machining were difficult, lengthy, and expensive for meeting these stringent criteria. Stelbel collaborated with vendor Desktop Metal to explore a new solution using its Shop System binder jetting platform.

By implementing Desktop Metal's binder jetting technology, the solution enabled the production of parts with complex geometries not possible with traditional methods. This innovative approach significantly reduced the production time and cost of the components compared to CNC. Desktop Metal's solution also improved the parts' performance and reduced their weight, achieving Stelbel's goals for ultralight and high-performance racing bicycle components.
