Carbon Exoskeleton™
Internal Topology Optimization
A patented technology that introduces topology-optimized internal carbon fiber ribs, enabling lighter, stronger and more efficient composite structures without increasing manufacturing complexity.
Expected benefits
- ✓Up to 35% weight reduction
- ✓Higher stiffness-to-weight ratio
- ✓Higher strength-to-weight ratio
- ✓One-shot manufacturing process
- ✓Design freedom never achieved before
A frame 35% lighter. And stiffer
390 g → 266 g
Frame weight (−35%)
+13%
Stiffness (max displacement 18.74 → 16.26 mm)
FEM-driven
Ribs generated from FEM results, local density in the most stressed areas
