HP MULTI JET FUSION ACCELERATES PRODUCTION FOR INTELLIGENCE INDUSTRY
ACCELERATING DESIGN ITERATIONS WITH HP MULTI JET FUSION

CUSTOMER AT A GLANCE

Motus is the United States’ newest motorcycle manufacturer based in Birmingham, Alabama, Motus produces the MST and the MSTR models of motorcycles.

THE CHALLENGE

Motus Motorcycles has developed a new motorbike model using 3D printing technology’s rapid prototyping capabilities to reduce costs and go-to-market times. HP Multi Jet Fusion(MJF) technology has accelerated design iterations, making it possible to design, test, and validate parts in less than one week. With traditional manufacturing, the same process would take three weeks per iteration.

RESULTS


One of the go-to-market validations is the shape fit of the parts in the overall motorbike assembly. This test would have been considerably much more expensive using traditional materials and manufacturing processes. Instead, using HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solutions and HP 3D HR PA 12 materials, the shape fit test resulted in:

Motorbike manifold
Inner manifold
  • Increased production speed: Traditional manufacturing can take up to three weeks, but HP MJF produces results in less than one week.


  • Cost savings: The materials and processes involved in 3D printing the parts with HP MJF helped decrease costs by 80%.
