Designing a process for manufacturing bicycle inner tubes into a sheet material for the production of products from Het Nieuwe Logisch
At: The Bin
Het Nieuwe Logisch is a brand that sells bags made out of repurposed materials, like tarpaulin and bicycle inner tubes. Currently the production process of these inner tubes into sheets is time consuming and the results deviate between the bags. The goal of this thesis was to optimize the production process of inner tubes into a sheet material that looks professional and refined. The focus product used for this is their existing fanny pack. The final design is a combination of two different tube types used in strips and unopened form. With this new design the production time of the sheet reduced with 35% and according to the customer the new material looks more professional, durable and refined.
