Project Overview
VDL Bike Frame Technologies is bringing bicycle frame production to Europe. MODYN is responsible for designing the frameset and its parts. The VDL Frameset is designed and optimised for production in VDL Bike Frame Technologies' state-of-the-art, fully automated production facilities in the Netherlands. One of the main challenges is creating three designs that are visually different but can still be produced as part of one frameset. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) enables VDL Bike Frame Technologies to optimise production from the design phase. This leads to faster production processes, higher quality and lower costs. Local production shortens delivery times and enables a flexible response to market demand. It also benefits from Dutch expertise in precision engineering and automation. This combination of sustainability, efficiency, quality and flexibility gives Dutch production of bicycle frames a significant competitive advantage.Client
