Designing lightweight bikes is a fine art and composites design software provides new sculpting tools - Composites in Manufacturing Magazine
Bertram Stier owns three mountain bikes with aluminium frames, but he’s working to help enthusiasts like himself step up to more affordable, next-generation composite ones.
Leaving Germany in early 2016 to join Collier Research Corporation as an engineer specialising in composites design, Stier is combining his trail experience with advanced computing tools. He is certainly qualified, with two master’s degrees in mechanical engineering (Structural Mechanics and Lightweight Design) and a Ph.D. candidacy in advanced composites materials analysis.
