9T Labs

After EUROBIKE Show, it’s time for the Taichung Bike Week! 🚴♂️ Eurobike was an incredible confirmation, with many companies expressing their interest in advancing with 9T Labs' Additive Fusion Technology (AFT)™ for designing and manufacturing the next generation of high-performance bicycle components. For our on-site team—Giovanni Cavolina, Mark Lechler, Andrea Ratzenberger, and Hannes Schütte—it was crucial to see the industry gradually emerging from a tough period. Thanks to Laurens van Rooijen for sharing insightful analytics on Giant Bicycle and MERIDA BIKES INTERNATIONAL. 📊 Our team was also pleased to see some players backing their sustainability claims with full life cycle assessments. 🌱 This is the path forward for the cycling industry to make a lasting positive impact! Our 9T Labs crew was delighted to meet with customers and supporters—special thanks to Elisa and Deborah, you are amazing! 🙌 Are you coming to the Taichung Bike Week in September? Let's connect and meet on-site so you can see and experience our latest products! 🚲✨ #aft #Eurobike #TaichungBikeWeek #9TLabs #AdditiveManufacturing #Sustainability #CyclingIndustry #Innovation #Technology #MeetUsThere #BicycleComponents

🚀 9T Labs' hybrid manufacturing approach is revolutionizing the use of high-value waste in structural parts. 🌍 While the high performance of composite parts is well-known, traditional manufacturing methods often result in significant waste from cut-outs and subtractive operations. By leveraging software integration, automation, and additive manufacturing, 9T Labs' Additive Fusion Technology (AFT)™ eliminates waste in high-performance applications. But that's not all - we're also repurposing waste from other processes through a hybrid approach. For example, this involves overmoulding additively manufactured continuous fiber preforms with short fiber repurposed waste material. The images below showcase this innovative method, as applied in the creation of an overhead bin pin bracket in collaboration with Diehl Aviation. ✈️ Which other applications would you make with this manufacturing approach? 🌟 #aft #Innovation #Sustainability #AdditiveManufacturing #9TLabs #CompositeMaterials #Aerospace #DiehlAviation

🔥 Thrilled to share that we made it into the top 100 on Finance YCombinator News with The Wall Street Journal article featuring 9T Labs! 🎉 A big thank you to our supporters, partners, and the YC community for believing in our vision. Here's to pushing the boundaries of what's possible! Thanks Christopher Mims #Innovation #AdvancedManufacturing #TechNews #YCombinator #WSJ #9TLabs #StartupSuccess

Absolutely thrilled to see 9T Labs featured on the front page of The Wall Street Journal #Tech today! 📰✨ Thanks Christopher Mims for your great work! The article highlights how labor-intensive manufacturing has historically limited the use of lighter, stronger composites, but emerging techniques are poised to revolutionize the industry. "Making the shell of a Formula One car, or the frame of a high-end competition bicycle, remains a labor-intensive process, says 9T Labs Chief Executive Martin Eichenhofer. The goal of his company, and of others in his industry, is to take all of the intensive and skilled manual labor out of the process, and to make it as automated as making metal and plastic parts has been for decades."

🚴♂️ Mark Cavendish Rides Into History at the Tour de France! 🚴♂️ While the cycling industry gathers at the EUROBIKE Show, le de Tour France is blazing its trail, and yesterday, Mark Cavendish achieved a monumental milestone. With his 35th sprint victory, he now holds the record for the most stage wins in the legendary race’s history. This remarkable feat is a testament to persistence and dedication. Excelling at the highest level involves meticulous attention to countless details. While age can pose physical challenges (Mark is 39), experience and mental strength only grow with time. Cavendish exemplified this by focusing on every aspect to gain an edge, all under the project code name P35: 🔧 £180,000 Tour de France setup 🔧 Fully custom bike frame, handlebar, and stem (Wilier Triestina Filante SLR aero bike) 🔧 Custom helmet (Specialized Bicycle Components) 🔧 Aero bottles 🔧 New aero socks priced at £999 (NOPINZ LIMITED P35 socks) At 9T Labs, we take immense pride in representing Switzerland, where punctuality is key. While we did not work on this watch, we appreciate that Mark wore a £130,000 Richard Mille RM 011 wristwatch to help him be on time at the finish line. Congratulations, Mark, on a well-deserved victory for the history book! 🏆 Are you looking to write history with next-generation carbon composite components? Meet Giovanni Cavolina, Andrea Ratzenberger, Mark Lechler, Hannes Schütte at the EUROBIKE Show! #HighPerformance #TourdeFrance #MarkCavendish #Cycling #Persistence #Dedication #Eurobike #Eurobike2024 #Achievement #CyclingInnovation Image credits: Getty Images
