Ride-share fleet operations

Volume

~300 bumpers / year

Process

Vacuum thermoforming + CNC (4 mm ABS)

Challenge

An Uber fleet operator asked us to make a replacement front bumper — but split into three modular sections for easier field repair, and economically viable at only ~300 units per year. Parts like this are usually injection molded at hundreds of thousands or millions of units to break even.

Solution

We redesigned the bumper from first principles: modular geometry, a low-volume process stack (vacuum thermoforming plus CNC milling from 4 mm ABS sheet), DFM tuned to that process and material, and logistics that work at fleet scale — not factory scale.

Result

The prototype fit on the first try. With mold cost amortized over 12 months, unit economics landed around 30% gross margin in year one and roughly 50% after — proof that creative design-for-manufacturing can make "impossible" low-volume fleet parts real.

Solar Energy Startup

Timeline

1 month

Challenge

Raya needed samples and production parts ASAP as they had to deliver to their first customers. Timeline was very tight, one month, and the shells that housed the battery and solar powers were very large and complex, which could make molds impossibly expensive.

Solution

Through full support from DFM to mold production, and a logistics setup, Vasar helped Raya successfully deliver their pilot programs and have tooling and production set up for growth needs.

Result

DFM to production in 30 days. Successful pilots delivered to their customers on time. Tooling and production capacity established for future growth.

Defense

Timeline

1 month

Challenge

As part of efforts for upgrading their surveillance fleets, the Mexican Defense Secretariat needed reinforced gears for a rotating lamp, since the original product had a very weak plastic gear that needed frequent replacements.

Solution

We had to quickly reverse engineer the gear and proposed both nylon and brass alternatives, making the gear much more suited for the wear and tear of intense operations. We also ended up saving them 65% in maintenance expenditures for this lamp.

Challenge

Develop a fuse lid cap spare part for repairing Freightliner Cascadia trucks. We had to develop a spare part from scratch.

Solution

An injection molded spare part that reduces part expenditure by 70% and installation time by +90%.
