What is Multi Jet Fusion?

Aerohead stands out in the bicycle accessory market because our products are manufactured using a single groundbreaking technology: Multi Jet Fusion (MJF).

What is Multi Jet Fusion?

Multi Jet Fusion, developed by HP, is an advanced variant of the powder bed fusion manufacturing process. Emerging in the late 2010s, MJF has rapidly evolved, achieving significant advancements in accuracy, repeatability, density, surface finish, and tensile strength.

How Multi Jet Fusion Works

MJF builds parts layer by layer from Nylon-12 powder on a heated print bed. Inkjet technology precisely defines the shape of each layer, which is then selectively fused using infrared radiation. This process allows for unprecedented design freedom, enabling the creation of intricate geometries impossible with traditional manufacturing techniques.

Benefits of Multi Jet Fusion

Example: Strength-to-Weight Superiority

The Aerohead Computer Mount Combo (RRP £59.99) weighs over 50% less than the CNC-machined aluminum K-Edge Wahoo Max Combo Mount (RRP £74.99) while maintaining the same maximum payload capacity. This remarkable improvement is possible because MJF allows for geometries that traditional techniques, like CNC machining, cannot achieve.

Additional Benefits of MJF

1. Precision Engineering:
MJF enables the creation of more-precise components, such as our combo connector, ensuring your GoPro-compatible accessories are held more securely and reliably than competing products.
2. Simplified Design and Production:
Aerohead products have a 50% lower part count when compared to equivalent products, simplifying production, reducing weight, and lowering costs.
3. Integrated Componentry:
MJF allows for seamless integration of sub-components like elastomer anti-vibration inserts without adhesives, reducing weight, simplifying assembly, and enhancing repairability.
4. Rapid Iteration:
With design improvement cycles measured in days, not months, Aerohead products undergo far more iterations than competitors, resulting in superior refinement and performance.
5. Made in England:
All Aerohead products are designed, manufactured, and assembled in England, supporting local craftsmanship and ensuring unmatched quality control.

By leveraging Multi Jet Fusion, Aerohead redefines what’s possible in bicycle accessory design, delivering lightweight, robust, and precision-engineered products that outperform the competition.
