Arris brings thermoplastic technology to spokes and components

A version of this article ran in the April issue of BRAIN. This has been updated with information about the company’s latest investors, announced April 30.

MONTEREY, Calif. (BRAIN) — Thermoplastic might be the word of the year, or the decade, in the industry, with several companies in and out of the industry bringing the technology to the bike world. Compared to the more common thermoset layup carbon fiber used in the industry, thermoplastic fabrication promises to be more efficient, with less waste and lower environmental impact. The resulting products can include complex, precise shapes with no post-process machining, sanding or finishing required. The resulting products can be more resistant to impact or notch damage and they can be co-molded with metal parts, electronics or finishing films. Thermoplastic products and factory scraps also sometimes can be recycled. 

GT and Ross experimented with thermoplastic frames as early as the 1990s, and

Tech giants form an industry group to help develop next-gen AI chip components

Well, mainly not to put our hands in wearable ovens or indecently expose ourselves in smart showers. Yes, this year’s CES gave us some fascinating glimpses of how gadgets could change our lives this year – and we’ve rounded up all of those flashes of insight below. These energy sources are considered renewable because they are not finite, unlike fossil fuels. It will be an important part of data analysis and decision-making in the future as it helps organizations make better use of their data. In 2023, datafication may involve using more advanced tools for visualization and analysis that can create more interactive and sophisticated presentations.
