Métier Vélo Design
At Your Service


Design

Make your idea real

Have an idea for a custom component and don't know where to start?  I'd be glad to help make your idea a reality.  I'll design your part for 3D printing or machining in metal or plastic, and print in-shop (for plastic parts) or coordinate printing in metal.
Your total cost for a part is design time plus fabrication cost.

Design rates

USD $40/hr
Book Hours
An hour or 2 is sufficient for small items like a custom computer mount, aero seatpost binder, or a set of cable stops.  Design charges do not include fabrication costs.
USD $250/day
Book days
A day is sufficient for a set of custom dropouts, or a single lug. More complex parts will take longer. Design charges do not include fabrication costs.
USD $1,000/week
Book weeks
A week is generally sufficient for a full set of lugs, brake bridge, and dropouts.  Complex parts will take longer. Design charges do not include fabrication costs.

From file to form


If you have  your own 3D design in a standard format, I can review it for 3D print-ablility and modify it for you if necessary. I can print ABS plastic parts in-shop for the cost of my time plus 3D print charges; contact me for an estimate. My plastic parts are serviceable but can be a bit rough, so if you prefer I can arrange for printing in different materials.
 For metal parts, I will work with GPI Prototype to 3D print your part.  GPI currently prints in 6/4 titanium, 17-4 and 15-5 stainless steel, cobalt chrome, aluminum, and nickel alloy.  More information is on GPI's website.
I will be happy to enter into a non-disclosure agreement on your terms, and I do not reveal client identities without authorization.

Collaborate with Métier Vélo


I can fabricate as many copies of a design as you want, and will work to keep costs as low as possible. However, if you would like to use my designs for large scale projects in your own manufacturing facility, or if you have business agreements that allow lower costs than I can achieve, please contact me and we can arrange terms.
