China3D printingNet July 16th, AREVO is a Silicon Valley company dedicated to direct digital additive manufacturing of composite materials. It has partnered with California-based emerging startup Superstrata to provide the3D printingCompletely unified carbon fiber composite frame.
By using ARVO’s continuous carbon fiber3D printingThe technology produces the frame as a whole, and Superstrata eliminates the glue or welding process required to fix individual components together. This makes the bicycle frame “extremely resistant to impact,” and the use of carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics makes the bicycle lightweight, which is said to weigh less than 1.3 kilograms or two bottles of water.
You can now book the company’s “Terra” and “Ion” 3D printingBikes, the former Olympian and racing record world record holder Sky Christopherson, who has participated in the Olympics twice, has devoted his energy to these new bikes. “My Olympic bike is light, but it will break if pushed hard or hit. It is a dream come true to own a bike that is as light as other carbon fiber bikes but is really tough.”
AREVO’s 3D bike printing voucher
Founded in 2014, AREVO first introduced a series of carbon fiber and carbon nanotube materials for composite reinforcement. According to reports, these carbon nanotubes are stronger than steel and can be used to reinforce objects made from the AREVO 3D series of plastics, and are regarded as the company’s pioneers in entering the bicycle production market.
AREVO subsequently raised $7 million in a Series A financing led by venture capital firm Khosla Ventures. This allowed the material company to expand its business scope and begin to develop strong and lightweight composite parts for production applications.In the B round of financing led by the glass manufacturing company Asahi Glass, AREVO raised a further US$12.5 million. The initial3D printingBicycles are planned to be marketed at a faster rate.
Using its patented generative design technology and proprietary multi-axis robotic additive manufacturing platform, the company then began to provide California-based bicycle manufacturer Franco Bicycles3D printingBicycle frame. The one-piece carbon fiber frame is sold under the Emery Bikes brand and uses AREVO’s Direct Energy Deposition (DED)3D printingTechnical manufacturing, and later integrated into the company’s Emery ONE eBike series.
Therefore, although Superstrata claims that the cooperation with AREVO represents “the world’s first” customization3D printingIntegrated bicycles, but the company is moving3D printingIt has a long history for similar applications.

Although other businesses (such as the German bicycle manufacturer Urwahn Bikes) have also been successfully carried out3D printingBicycle frames, but they are usually produced in batches before being welded or welded together. On the other hand, Superstrata’s new electric bicycle is manufactured in one piece, providing seamless strength and impact resistance to the frame. “This bike is designed to take advantage of all the advantages of this new manufacturing technology to have the best of both worlds: strength and lightness,” concludes Bill Stephens, the creativity behind the bike.
Utilize Arevo’s DED 3D printingProcess, you can also make a lot of customization to the bicycle. Each frame can be individually made according to 18 precise dimensions, ensuring that riders from 4’7″ to 7’4″ can be customized. In addition, according to Superstrata, if you include a range of other adjustable settings, such as riding position and stiffness level, the bike has more than 500,000 potential combinations.
Two versions of the bike will be available later this year. Terra retails for US$2799 and Ion E-Bicycle retails for US$3,999. The latter’s battery can be fully charged in two hours and has a cruising range of up to 55 miles. The entire frame of the two bicycles has integrated data and power cords, which can be upgraded with various electronics. These include customization to suit different riding styles (racing, street, gravel or travel), wheel material (metal or carbon fiber) or color scheme (light or dark). After the successful kickstarter campaign by AREVO CEO Sonny Vu, the company has raised more than £800,000 and Superstrata is now accepting its3D printingBooking of electric bikes. Customers who want to pre-order a bicycle or one of its accessories can do it here. Both versions of the bike are currently scheduled to be released in December 2020.

Innovation in bicycle production
AREVO is not the first company to use additive manufacturing in bicycle manufacturing, and many other companies are also3D printingImproved bicycle frame.For example, metal3D printingBike manufacturer Renishaw (Renishaw) last year collaborated with British car company Lotus and bicycle engineering company Hope Technology to design a new tracked vehicle for the British cycling team. Designers use the company’s RenAM 500M system to prototype and produce end-use parts for bicycles to improve track performance.
Similarly, MX3D, a robotic additive manufacturing (RAM) technology developer based in Amsterdam, released its3D printingThe latest photos of bicycles.Named “Arc Bike II”, it is made from aluminum using WAAM technology3D printingof.
Custom bicycle frame manufacturing company Quirk Cycles also demonstrated enhanced3D printingBicycle frame design. The company used 3D metal printing technology to create a stainless steel bolt and clamp system for the bicycle seatpost, achieving a seamless metal design in the process.
