出生的汽车公司is an independent, custom motorcycle kit design studio based in Barcelona. By adding aBCN3D Sigma 3D printer对于其工具包，Born能够实现其锋利，解构的自行车模型的复杂，以前不可能的组成部分。
As an added bonus, 3D printing these parts also saves a significant amount of time and money in the process, delivering bikes to customers at a much more expedient rate.
驾驶重点
Born的3D印刷最终用途零件主要是内部和非审美应用。根据使用，零件由尼龙，PET-G或ABS细丝制成。
根据BCN3D，“ 3D打印现在已成为Born Motor的日常生活的一部分，使其设计师能够以先前的工作，时间和金钱的一小部分创建更复杂的部分。”
“While before the staff were spending time in handcrafted components, now they can focus on higher added-value parts.”
€6 down from €1,500 per part
In addition to proprietary kits, BORN Motor designs limited editions cycles and upgrades for existing bikes. As an example upgrade, BORN breaks down the cost to produce a speedometer dash housing for a Honda CB25. Against typically handcrafted and machined parts, the 3D printed alternative is the clear winner across the board for number of possible iterations, costs (including labor, materials and service fee), and lead time.
平均而言，3D打印的零件经历6个自定义迭代，每零件6-8小时的速度可以生产，总计约为6欧元。相比之下，加工零件需要2 - 3周，2次迭代和250欧元。像以前在Born一样，手工制作零件将使该公司的返回进一步，每零件1,500欧元，交货时间为24小时，只有一次可能的迭代。
平均而言，降低的成本可节省每辆定制自行车2,000欧元。
这bespoke approach
3D printing is an attractive alternative to bespoke manufacturers like BORN as it allows a design freedom unavailable with any other manufacturing method. In many cases, the technology also creates significant weight savings critical to vehicle performance.
这空客APWORKS的轻型骑手is perhaps one of the most famous examples of the potential of 3D printing for motorcycles. Anumber of supercars也已经在3D打印机的帮助下开发，较大的汽车制造商正在采用该技术急剧降低工具和库存成本。
