Craftsmanship and technology.

This is our ethos, the association of two very different fields in order to produce exclusive, handmade and high performing products:

To design our FP.1 saddle we first sculpted by hand different saddles shapes in order to produce classic composite molds and first saddle top prototypes.
We picked one iteration to be scanned with an industrial grade 3d scanner. The model was refined and rails designed. 3D printing was used as a fast prototyping solution at different stages.
Afterwards tooling (molds) were CNC machined from a 3D model for prepreg production.
