Urwahn and ROLAND Werk are establishing a new Smart Bike Factory in Germany, integrating 3D printed steel frames with automated production. This shift to an integrated value chain enabled the team to move from design to serial production in just 8 months. By leveraging SLM technology, they achieve aluminum-level weight with steel durability. This regional network serves as a blueprint for nearshoring and lean manufacturing in the bicycle industry. 🚲 #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #Urwahn #SmartFactory #Industry40
