Cyclopic Ltd, a pioneer in micromobility and modular EV design, needed strong, accurate prototypes to validate their groundbreaking centreless wheel<\/strong> and integrated drive unit. Traditional manufacturing was too slow, too costly, and not suitable for the fast, iterative development they required.<\/p>\n

Using Mark3D UK’s StrongParts<\/strong> 3D printing bureau service, the team rapidly produced functional components across multiple Markforged printers, including TPU tyres, Onyx structural parts,<\/strong> and continuous carbon-fibre-reinforced load-bearing elements<\/strong>. These parts were delivered in parallel to dramatically reduce lead times while maintaining excellent mechanical performance.<\/p>\n

Working closely with Cyclopic’s design engineers, Mark3D helped optimise CAD models for composite printing, reduced initial production costs by 20%<\/strong>, and delivered prototypes strong enough for real-world testing. Within weeks, Cyclopic had their first functional assembly on test, enabling fast geometry refinement, tolerance tuning, and mechanical validation.<\/p>\n

Mark3D\u2019s rapid, high-strength prototypes transformed our development pace. Within weeks, we were testing functional centreless wheel components that would have taken months using traditional methods. Their support didn\u2019t just accelerate our engineering \u2014 it gave us the confidence to push our innovation further.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote>
