AREVO Has A New Partner for 3D-Printed Carbon Fiber Unibody Bike Frame at Eurobike 2019

AREVO, the Silicon Valley Company redefining global composites manufacturing through digitalization, and Pilot Distribution Group BV, a global leader in bike design and production, declared at Eurobike 2019 that AREVO will produce the 3D-printed carbon fiber unibody frames for a new line of e-bikes from Pilot. Pilot displayed this new bike, called the EVE9, in the stand of partner Pinion GmbH (Messe Friedrichshafen - Hall A2 – 105) during Eurobike exhibit hours September 4 – 7th. AREVO’s unique AM process features patented software algorithms enabling generative design techniques, free-motion robotics for “True 3D” construction, and direct energy deposition for virtually void free construction all optimized for anisotropic composite materials. “AREVO’s continuous carbon fiber technology is very impressive as it affords numerous design possibilities and provides excellent strength and durability,” said Arno Pieterse from Pilot. “The technology truly is a revolution in composites manufacturing and enables us to offer all the high-performance qualities we envisioned for EVE.” For identifying growth opportunities for carbon fiber in the global automotive composites market, please visit http://www.lucintel.com/carbon_fiber_in_automotive_composites_2016.aspx
