Genesis of your product. why and for whom?

ILT was developed with CompoTech''s advanced composites design and proprietary winding technology platform to overcome unnecessary machining and reduce labour-intensive, hand-lamination when joining structural tubes. The CDuro bike was developed to showcase the frame production technolgy.

Benefits for the final customers?

• Increased frame production automation: reduced quality issues and overall production and labour time.
• Efficient material use, eliminating over-laminated joints.
• Reduced machining: joint or hole designed into the ILT filament placement process.
• Continuous fibre process giving stronger joints.

The product : materials and processes

CDuro bike CFRP front triangle, produced using robotic filament placement with ILT. A process that combines a structural composite tube with a looped joining component. The result is a joint integral to the structure from a continuous fibre automated process. The rear arm - moulded epoxy and stitched carbon fabric from Carbonlaying s.r.o. INTEND BC uses CompoTech composite tubes to resist shocks.
