You are a B2B provider and you are looking for ways to get your expertise out there.

A lot of companies don't know what their partners are capable of in terms of innovation and performance. The same goes for the possibilities of the products and processes that result. It's not just about selling lots or getting into a new market directly. So-called "hero products" can also be a great way to show off what your company can do. Rimac is a company that many fans of electric vehicles will recognize (https://www.rimac-automobili.com). Rimac makes the fastest production vehicles in the world and has become well-known and sought-after as a result. Their actual core competence is the development of battery systems for other manufacturers. Until now, they haven't had a product that clearly demonstrates their ability to the outside world.


The company Circomp makes carbon fibre airstruts using a winding process. These are the supports for the seating and storage levels in wide-body aircraft. Continuous carbon fibres are great for absorbing torsional forces and are perfect for lightweight construction because they're so light and compact. These long fibres are usually used in the aviation industry, often wound around metal cores. The winding process for this 2-component material is pretty tricky and requires a lot of processing know-how. One of the coolest things about this manufacturing process is the lost core that the carbon fibre is wound around. We wanted to find a new way of winding without using a lost mould, so we could reproduce biomorphic shapes. The "Hero Product" is a bicycle frame that shows off the amazing beauty of this material and its incredible performance. This demonstrator was developed to open up new market areas outside of aviation. In addition to the design, Paul Martin worked really hard on the ideal chamfering and various tool templates.
