China3D printingNet November 10th, in the successful realization of3D printingAfter several steps of commercialization of bicycles, Superstrata and Arevo are now sold online through the Superstrata website3D printingCarbon fiber bicycles and electric bicycles.Customers can visit the online store and purchase using Arevo’s unique technology3D printingOf personalized carbon fiber bikes.This development has implications for additive manufacturing (AM) and the entire carbon fiber3D printinghas great significance.
In August of this year, Arovo announced that it had received US$25 million in Series B financing to enable it to launch its latest carbon fiber3D printingThe Aqua 2 can thus produce up to one cubic meter of continuous carbon fiber composites at 4 times the speed, which is ten times faster than the company’s previous system. Silicon Valley bicycle brand Superstrata subsequently launched a successful crowdfunding campaign that allowed the company to raise US$7,227,867 from nearly 5,000 backers to use Arevo’s technology to produce its first carbon fiber bicycles and electric bicycles.
Through this event, the company was able to bring its products to the market and has now opened an online store. Customers can use a custom configuration platform called Superstrata Studio, on which they can enter their own measurements, and choose riding styles and preferences, colors, designs, and other options to purchase personalized bikes.
According to Tuan TranPham, Arevo’s Chief Revenue Officer, Superstrata is the company’s powerful demo product:
“We want to show what we can do and the scale we can do so that we can find partners who can serve. We want to print some complicated things. You can’t use traditional3D printingMachine or composite material manufacturing process. “
Maneesh Jain, Arevo’s vice president of engineering and operations, echoed his views:“Superstrata embodies the fusion of the most exciting aspects of additive manufacturing to date: an innovative, fully customizable design that enables large-scale and rapid production through cutting-edge technologies in robotics and materials science. This The project reminded me of my excitement when I was working at Tesla.”That’s right. The production of carbon fiber reinforced parts is time and labor intensive. Previous automation methods were mainly limited to the aerospace industry, where companies can afford expensive stacked equipment.Now, many start-up companies have developed the use of fiber-reinforced materials for3D printingPart method.Although Markforged may be a pioneer in this field, Arevo is3D printingCarbon fiber products are introduced to the market on an unprecedented scale.This is not only for the carbon fiber that has just appeared in infancy3D printingVery important, and for the whole3D printingIt is also very important. Just as our readers already know the importance of AM, it still has not fully penetrated into the field of end products.So far, hearing aids and invisible aligners are still3D printingThe killer app.
If Superstrata’s bicycles can provide better products than other traditionally manufactured bicycles at the same price point, then they may be able to prove3D printingValue in bicycle production. For electric bicycles, their prices are absolutely competitive, and the price of Superstrata electric bicycles is $3,999. However, they provide a level of customization that other electric bicycles on the market cannot provide, and are lightweight enough to withstand the bulky batteries associated with these vehicles. Although Superstrata electric bicycles weigh about 24.2 pounds, most electric bicycles weigh between 38 and 70 pounds.
China3D printingNet Comments: Although unlike hearing aids, luxury bicycles do not belong to the basic medical equipment category, so it is difficult to imagine how they can achieve the level of success that these products have. despite this,ArevoOr wisely chose the demo product to enter the market.So far, Superstrata claims that in addition to consumers, it has also launched special edition bicycles and has received support from major brands. These versions include the iconic Japanese superhero Ultraman, etc., and Time Warp, one of the world’s largest electronic music festivals. In addition to these specific brands, Arevo itself has received support from its investors, including GGV Capital, Defy Partners, Alabaster, Khosla Ventures, and In-Q-Tel, an investment agency of the CIA.
