The Omniverse! A cross over of Wolverine, Batman, Luke Skywalker....and hmmm, Fred Flintstone...where time and continuity doesn't exist?! I wish! Try an interconnected 3D design, simulation, and virtual reality ecosystem available from NVIDIA! Part 1 of this series provides a customer's (us) explanation of the Omniverse product and how we plan to use it, manipulate it, enhance it, and work it into the world of bicycle manufacturing. Look out for Part 2 soon as we discuss the Omniverse with NVIDIA reps as we take a look from the "company side."

We're always simulating here....but did you know simulation for composite materials (carbon fiber) is a whole different ball game than other common materials properties? Learn how to define the "stamina" of a frame. Join us we discuss Aram's currently "in-production" Linkedin Learning course, "Validation and Production," the third in a three-part series, "Composite Design and Manufacturing." 

Join us in Ep. 18 where we discuss some Q&A's from Aram's GTC conference last week. We highlight his course on GPU acceleration and our journey with making 3D printing viable. We're also super excited to announce our 2nd direct-to-consumer 3D printed product, our Predator Cleat adjusters. Custom versions available on our webstore now and stock sizes coming soon!

We're back after a week hiatus! We've been finishing up quite a few long term projects here at the shop and spend this episode reviewing our work load. Join us to listen as we wrap up current news (push bike, cages, tech conferences) and gear up for next week's release of new 3D-printed product!

Predator Cycling began from a beachside condo in Santa Monica, CA in the early 2000s by 14 year old Aram Goganian. Join us in this episode as we invite his mom and original Co-Owner, Seza Ouzounian, to discuss the evolution of Predator over the years. We take a look back in reflection of what it took to grow and develop our brand.

In all the hustle and bustle of our day-to-day manufacturing, Aram also fills his plate with teaching! Who knew? As an online Linkedin Learning instructor, Aram offers courses focusing on composite manufacturing, drafting and sketching, and composite workflow management. He's just released a Part A course of a three part series and we think it's really neat! Listen here to find out how online learning can elevate your skills.

What is 3D print? How is it applied to manufacturing? Is it viable? Listen to this episode to learn how Predator utilizes these funky little robots into our molding processes, component inserts, and consumer products. 

It's launched and we've heard you! We've had a very positive week for our new Genius water bottle cage and have listened to your questions and feedback. We wanted to give more insight into the design and simulation architecture behind 3D print and additive manufacturing here at Predator. Take a listen to this episode to see how software integration created the backbone for the Genius cage foundation.

The computer's are at it again. We love to simulate here at Predator, so we decided to put our systems to work to create an AI-driven, generatively constructed water bottle cage. Listen to this episode to hear how we've used 3D print for our newest component product, The Genius water bottle cage, available on our website very soon!

Although we're busily working on our forthcoming product launches, we still have day-to-day projects. Join us this week as we discuss a few current carbon repairs that are queued up at the shop. As we analyze the types of repairs, we explain how Predator designs for our frames with these potential failure points in mind.
