Oral B IO toothbrush

Alright, let's face it, we're not completely sold on the possibility of a device that winks and grins at you when you put it in your mouth.

That aside, this toothbrush is packed with a practically unrealistic measure of tech. Sensors inside will follow the brush's development as you clean your teeth and guide out regions you've missed.

There are independent modes relying upon your disposition, as "Exceptional Clean" following an especially sweary day or something gentler for those with touchy gums. Another pressing factor sensor inside will likewise caution you in case you're brushing method begins to skirt into self-flogging.

The reason why I backed the electric Ion E-Bike of the world's first carbon unibody bicycle Superstrata Bike is the power of software

And about AREVO's 3D printer that supports its manufacturing and AGC's love for technology

Masaki Itani

Jul 15, 2020 · 16 min read

Let's start with a personal story, but as my child grows a little older, I'm about to need a bicycle to act with me. Moreover, the other person has much more physical strength and endurance.

And since I am also old, my presbyopia progresses and I feel a decrease in physical strength on the slope. However, children are not old enough to be left alone.

Yes, I was a little worried about whether to buy a light sports bike or a power-assisted bicycle.

So far, this is a personal introduction (an excuse for desire).

Superstrata Bike appeared at such a timing. It has already started with INDIEGOGO.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/superstrata-bike/x/15319106#/

It started at 23:00 on the 13th of Japan time and exceeded 400% in less than an hour. It has exceeded 500% in less than 2 hours. This doesn't mean that the goal setting is wrong, isn't it?

I was thinking that it was just after the start, and it was 100 million yen & 1000% achieved in less than 24 hours.

netafull.net

So, for Superstrata Bike, it may be faster to watch the video first. That way you can see how unprecedented this bike is.

Anyway, this Superstrata Bike is probably a mass of patents, but there are only words that I have never heard of. Because, even though Superstrata Bike is made of carbon, it is output with a single stroke with a 3D printer.

Superstrata Bike

The world's first Unibody Carbon Fiber Composite Bicycle. Super strong, super light, versatile for multiple terrains…

superstrata.bike

SUPERSTRATA TERRA (so-called sports bike)

https://superstrata.bike/product/superstrata-terra

Made of the earth's first unibody carbon fiber

Since it is not a combination of carbon parts, there is no welding or bolts.

Lightweight because there are no reinforcement parts

Seat tubeless design

Customize your own bicycle according to your body shape and riding style with a single stroke from more than 500,000 unique combinations

Uses high-strength carbon fiber used for industrial applications

Can be changed to a road bike as an option (drop handle)

There are also carbon wheels

And there is another type of bicycle. Yes, it's an electric motorcycle.

SUPERSTRATA ION (so-called electrically power assisted bicycle)

https://superstrata.bike/product/superstrata-ion

Electric assist operates at speeds of less than 24 km / h

In-tube battery

Although it is an electric bicycle, the weight of the main body is 11 kg (about 20 kg is common for ordinary electric bicycles, so it is roughly half the weight)

And now, INDIEGOGO has a carbon unibody customized bicycle with this content at a crazy price. Really, I'm doing something wrong.

However, the strange price (almost half price) of Earliest Bird is only about half left (that is, hurry).

For bike lovers, the crazyness of this Superstrata Bike really sounds, and some people buy it right away.

world's first! Crowdfunding has started for your own full carbon bicycle "Superstrata" created with a 3D printer!

My name is Munesada (@ mu_ne3) and I have more than 20 years of experience in sports cycling. I would like to introduce the crowdfunding that I was excited to support immediately. ...

munesada.com

We decided on a set of electric type "Superstrata Ion" + carbon wheels for a total of about 270,000 yen!

You see, it's electric (I did that too). After all, it's hard on a slope because it's an old man, and even though it's electric, it weighs 11 kg.

I noticed that I didn't tweet in a hurry

I made it the standard set of Superstrata Ion E-Bike. Carbon wheels are over-engineered for me and I love spokes.

And I'm worried about whether to change the base color to black or white in the future. I think that even customization is deadly troublesome (exciting).

Ah, but it's white, white.

Speaking of which, at the Messe, I sold this Superstrata to a certain person, but I was told that the content of the body alone is 500,000 courses in the first place.

Now.

From here onward, in a sense, it's a part-time job.

At the same time, it's also about why you trust the Superstrata Bike.

If you've already seen the Indiegogo page of Superstrata Bike and you're familiar with it, you'll probably notice that this project is managed by Sunny Vu of MISFIT.

Fossil releases a large number of smart watches in serious mode after the acquisition of MISFIT #MISFIT health diet

Why do you collect data with MISFIT? I'm often asked, so I wrote that story as well

mitaimon.com

It's easy to say, but Sunny, who has a lot of money and a track record, can't make something boring. Sunny, because he's really trying to make something that will change the world.

There is an article on Verge as well.

Superstrata unveils "world's first" 3D-printed unibody electric bike

Arevo is not a well-known name in the cycling world. But the Silicon Valley-based company is using its expertise in…

www.theverge.com

So why can you make a custom-made bicycle that is unibody with carbon and customized one by one? I have to talk about that.

Yes, that's because each carbon part is punched out like a single stroke with a dedicated 3D printer. It is not produced by baking the same thing from something like a mold (the manufacturing method itself is different from normal CFRP). And it is AREVO that has that technology.

You can see the technology once from the tweet (video) above. The arm that moves on 6 axes, and the carbon itself that is being burned are placed on a control panel like a turntable, and this also moves. That's why you can make things that you can't do with so-called 3D printers.

It can be said that the demonstration of this carbon fiber 3D printing technology is the Superstrata Bike.

But it's carbon. Do you do that. Can you really give it strength? Of course, there will be a question.

So, the other day, I visited AGC (Tsurumi Line) in Yokohama, where this AREVO carbon 3D printer is the only one installed in Japan.

why? What about AGC? First of all, AGC has invested in AREVO, and since AGC is a so-called material maker, I came across AREVO's technology while searching for what to do as a material store in the field of 3D printer technology. That's right.

I asked an AGC engineer to tell me various stories, but I was surprised that the first voice of the AGC engineer was "No, I'm already in love with AREVO's technology!" It was there.

In this room of AGC, 3D printers of various companies were lined up.

Yes, this is AREVO's dusty carbon fiber 3D printer, AQUA.

It's in a habitable chamber because you need to control the laser that burns the carbon fiber.

In fact, I don't think anyone thinks this is a 3D printer because of the appearance of this equipment (laughs).

So what's so great about AREVO's technology?

So-called 3D printers usually stack materials by stacking them on top of each other. So, as long as you have 3D data, the basics can be realized in any form (there are various restrictions).

However, this has been a question for me for a long time, but it is a general-purpose application that creates 3D data, and a general-purpose printer that outputs it.

AREVO's 3D printer AQUA cuts into it.

Carbon fiber filament used as a material for 3D printing

AREVO technology is software

Redesign process with proprietary design algorithm

3D printing as it is with the designed app

If there is a problem with printing, it can be immediately reflected in the design

Therefore, the design period is shortened

This means that you don't design anything that you can't make in the first place. This is the power of the dedicated app. It's strange to output it even though it's clean on 3D data because it's awkward with a 3D printer. That's it. Moreover, it takes time because it is a trial and error while outputting.

Well, in the first place, it is not possible to operate a printer with a 6-axis arm and a control panel that also moves with a general-purpose application, but since design and print control are integrated, it is highly accurate and design is fun in the first place. This is very clear.

AREVO 3D printing is baked and pressed

AREVO 3D printing is DED (Direct Energy Depositon)

Bake carbon fiber filaments and press them with rollers to stack them.

Achieves a void rate of 1% (aerospace requirement is 2% or less)

The fact that it is stronger than before but can be made at low cost is due to the accumulation of these technologies.

Or rather, just looking at the 3D printing is cool. In addition, take the following series of photos, take from the green window for laser beam protection

.............................................................................................pag2

However, because of that, it has become like a Ghost in the Shell OP, and it is unavoidable that it has produced coolness.

Moreover, such complicated 3D printing cannot be done without robotics technology, so it is natural that manufacturing can be automated. This is in contrast to CFRP, the traditional method of carbon fiber, which is supported by skilled craftsmen from molding to baking.

Yes, that's it!

I hope you understand that the carbon fiber unibody of Superstrata Bike is made with convincing technology.

And because it's during the INDIEGOGO campaign, it's only now that you can buy it for this amount.

I mean! Furthermore, INDIEGOGO continues to progress, the number of Backers has already exceeded 1000, and some SOLD OUT has begun!

A feature of Arevo is that in addition to this unique molding method, there is a wealth of engineering software to support them. Programming all complex movements such as 6-axis robots, stages, and molding control is a heavy burden for the manufacturing site, but software supports design support using AI (artificial intelligence) and automatic creation of molding programs. doing. In addition, the state of molding in the manufacturing process can be grasped on the engineering software in almost real time by the digital twin, and it is possible to respond immediately when a trouble occurs.

Superstrata A unibody carbon bike that revolutionizes many industries | flick!

For some time, I've been interviewed to hear about the manufacturing method of the mysterious bicycle "Superstrata" that is making noise on the net with the catchphrase "the world's first unibody carbon fiber sports bike". ...

funq.jp

The carbon fiber is wound and stocked on a reel as a long rod-shaped fiber, which is pressed against the output part, heated by a laser, and at the same time pressed against the molded product by a compaction roller.

It's certainly called a 3D printer, but in the end it's a three-dimensional object made by stacking materials, so I thought it was actually a 2.5D printer. Therefore, we created our own software and algorithms with the aim of becoming a true 3D printer, and completed 3D printing by robots.

[Addition]

Superstrata Bike, can you really get that much carbon strength?

Regardless of the strength of the XY axis, the fact that the strength of the Z axis is uncertain because it is a 3D printer is easy to ask because the manufacturing of Superstrata Bike is fundamentally different from the conventional method.

So, I got additional materials.

The capture explanation (Japanese) is as follows.

Carbon fiber is printed while connected

Z axis is also reinforced

True 3D deposition

Since the gap that can be created in principle by 3D printing is pressed, the void is 1% or less (it is important, so once again)

Superstrata Bike Can you produce so much?

That's what it is.

Superstrata is more than just a new bike startup. It is a new brand under the umbrella of Arevo, a multi-layered modeling startup based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Superstrata will also serve as a demonstration to market Arevo's services and composite laminate manufacturing technology to the manufacturing industry, Boo told TechCrunch.

To achieve that big goal, Arevo is building a print factory in Vietnam with a large system, Boo said.

In addition, detailed specifications of Superstrata Bike can be found on the official website (those who are not INDIEGOGO).
