Prototyping

Colnago pro­duc­tion process implies inten­sive use of pro­to­typ­ing tech­nolo­gies. Before real­is­ing the final model, we analyse spec­i­fi­ca­tions and dif­fer­ent vari­ables through sam­ples and lab tests. The first visual and dimen­sional analy­sis is made through visual pro­to­typ­ing soft­ware, which allows us to eval­u­ate infer­ences and eval­u­ate if what we could do in the pro­duc­tion phase. After that we go to the rapid pro­to­typ­ing phase, for a “real” visual analy­sis and a sec­ond dimen­sional ver­i­fi­ca­tion. We use 3D print­ing machines and we real­ize sam­ples in resins and plas­tic pow­ders. Once val­i­dated the visual sam­ple, we real­ize sev­eral bike sam­ples with dif­fer­ent fea­tures in order to fur­ther test them in lab and on the road.
