🚲Strong by Form at JEC 2025: a wood-based composite bike story 🚲

✨ A showcase:  innovation by the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab startups  ✨ 

Last week took place the international fair for composite professionals - the JEC World - and the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab had yet another occasion to help showcase the power of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and our beloved brands such as CATIA, SIMULIA and 3DEXCITE to foster innovation through one of our amazing startups, let me introduce you Strong by Form.

Strong by Form team

 

Strong By Form is revolutionizing the industry by introducing the advanced logic of composite materials to engineered wood through its pioneering Woodflow technology. This innovation represents a significant leap forward, merging the resilience and versatility of advanced composites with the sustainability and natural beauty of wood.

 

 

 

The disruptive idea behind Strong By Form lies in its ability to bridge the gap between traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. By bringing the advanced logic of composite materials to engineered wood, Strong By Form is not only enhancing the material's performance and aesthetic possibilities but also contributing to a more sustainable future in construction. Woodflow technology represents a profound understanding of both the potential of wood as a material and the lessons that can be learned from nature herself. This dual innovation offers a sustainable, efficient, and adaptable solution that stands to redefine what's possible in structures.

 

🎤  Alongside @Olivier SAPPIN , @AM , the CEO and co founder of Strong by Form, and @DS , mechanical engineer contractor who led the bike frame project, presented an inspiring testimony how the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform is helping them innovate together and imagine sustainable and performant products using their proprietary technology Woodflow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a brilliant showcase of the entire MODSIM loop: from composites design with CATIA , to structural validation simulation with SIMULIA and lifecycle assessment LCA using the 3DEXPERIENCE solutions, as they are power users of multiple brands.

It was also an amazing occasion to showcase the AR model for the concept bike frame that the 3DEXCITE team create for Strong by Form, strengthening even more the power and brilliance of our full portfolio! Big thanks to @Fabien BARTEL @Igor YUROV @Peter SCHULTZ @Philip HERTEL @KZ @GG 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was great having them with us shedding light on the power of our solutions for such inspiring project, making connections with other Dassault Systemes experts in composite field for further synergies.

 

🏆The team won the Startup Booster Sustainability prize - congrats to them!

 

💡 This intervention is an amazing example as to how 3DEXPERIENCE Lab startups bring value to the entire DS ecosystem - from brands to industries, for inspiring customer stories! 

 

Thanks to CATIA team for having us!
