Low Volume Production | Vacuum Casting
Industry: Automotive
 

The Challenge

Moto-Mate’s Managing Director, Phil, needed a robust, stylish motorbike light mount finished in matt black. He required a cost-effective, low-volume production run of 40 units delivered within three weeks, without compromising on quality or durability.

 

The Solution

AME-3D assessed Phil’s CAD designs and target price, presenting multiple manufacturing options including SLS, MJF, and vacuum casting. Vacuum casting was chosen for its ability to achieve a premium surface finish and reliable strength.

  • Produced a high-resolution SLA master from the CAD model.

  • Collaborated with Phil on tooling design to ensure a superior finish.

  • Supplied first-off parts for approval before moving to production.

  • Delivered a run of 40 high-quality, matt-black vacuum-cast mounts.

 

The Results

  • On-time delivery: Full production completed within the 3-week deadline.

  • Cost-effective production: Met Moto-Mate’s target price without sacrificing quality.

  • Premium finish: Durable, matt-black mounts exceeded customer expectations.

  • Customer satisfaction: Provided Moto-Mate with a professional-grade product to confidently supply their market.


 

“As a small reseller of motorcycle accessories, Moto-Mate value service and product quality as the two most important criteria in surviving in an extremely competitive market. We have had more than our fair share of failed delivery and product quality that just doesn’t meet our requirements. In the quest for yet another supplier, Google returned a result for AME-3D so an enquiry was sent. Within 24 hours, Rich offered me 3 different solutions with an overview of each, a brief phone conversation followed and a costed proposal was sent over. Due to my previous experience with false promises I asked for a pair of samples before committing to the first production batch. These were turned around really quickly and on receipt, they looked beautifully finished and fitted perfectly. I am now in possession of the production batch, delivered earlier than advised and the quality is as per the samples. I am now working on two more products as I have finally found the quality of partner that I have been searching for. Thanks Guys”
