Industry 4.0 Engineering
Custom Design & Fabrication
Predator Cycling® offers custom engineering, advanced CFD/FEA analysis, and specialized composite prototyping services. We collaborate with companies and athletic teams to refine, analyze, and build custom parts—moving concepts from digital simulations to validated carbon reality.
Core Engineering Capabilities
1. CAD/CAM Modeling
We develop high-fidelity structural layouts using Autodesk Fusion 360 and Rhino 7. We manipulate hard coordinate inputs with organic T-splines to generate custom carbon shapes.
2. FEA/CFD Solvers
We run structural composite layup analysis and drag calculations using Ansys Discovery and Fluent. Every prototype is stress-tested in a virtual environment under real-world loads before curing.
3. First-Run Prototyping
We build functional prototypes in-house. Utilizing CNC mold cutting, 3D printing, and autoclave composite cures, we take designs from computer screen to functional physical assembly.
Methodology
5D Product Lifecycle
Every custom project or component designed by Predator Cycling follows our proprietary five-phase lifecycle:
Design
Digital creation of custom geometry from fit metrics and target specs.
Develop
Composite layup optimization and multiphysics flow solvers.
Data Log
Cloud logging of material batches, cure parameters, and stress metrics.
Drive
Real-world test sessions and telemetry feedback iterations.
Deliver
Final aerospace-grade carbon fiber fabrication and shipping.
