Azote² project: how XFQ developed and made the prototype of an innovative bicycle pump?
2/ Product development and 3D plan
XFQ offers a technical solution with the work of its engineers
Research and 3D design of a prototype
The solution envisaged by the customer and the XFQ design office: create a pump with a double action pumping system. The pump should inject air by pushing and pulling the handle. While being easy to use.
3/ Manufacture of the prototype
From machined parts and components
Once the 3D plans have been validated by the client, XFQ launches the manufacture of prototypes from machined parts and components. This is the stage that will validate the technical hypotheses and consider production on a larger scale.
This is also the time to mark and decorate the prototype in the colors of the brand.
