Most of our products are made using SLM printing. In this form of metal printing, every 0,06mm a layer of metal powder is syntered together using a laser.
This method of manufracturing is mainly used in aerospace, sattelites and motorsport since it’s cost is high, the price for each printer ranges from €200.000 to €1.500.000. We have a range of these machines to our disposal for different size builds. We use this production method because of it’s amazing properties for custom work: it’s material properties are super repeatable and thus we can simulate it’s strength for every design we produce. Because we can run these simulations we can optimize the final weight of the product, making them the same weight as the carbon-fiber counterparts we have produced before. Often you can shave off 400g+ over a carbon fiber setup with spacers and adapters.
After we have received your measurements, we can start on a 3D model for your aerobars. You will first receive 3D renders of this design for verification.
With your go, one of our 3D printers will start running a PETG plastic version of your TTX or TriX bars. These will have the original fitting of the bars, and can be fitted directly on your bars as the final version will. Plastic is only strong enough for prototyping, so please use them only indoors. After an initial stationary trial, you can try to do some turbo sessions on them for further feedback.
Our TTX and TriX aerobars are completely available online through our measurement forms.
These forms consist of your basic information, order specification, 10 measurements and a front and side picture of your position on the bike.
We use these pictures to trace the angles of your arm, wrist, hand and your handtilt inward, so we can completely support the position you want to have on your bike.
