At
DOT Project, we use a
design and engineering approach for our product
line. Carbon fiber is one of the most versatile
structural materials ever developed and
possibilities are endless to build highly reliable
bicycles. But composite technology requires
precision in engineering, materials and
manufacturing processes. Thus, the more control a
company has over the engineering, materials and
production of their final product, the more control
they have over the end result.
At DOT Project, we
design, engineer and market our own carbon products.
And because the best design and the world's most
advanced materials can't compensate for poorly
manufactured frames, we are working in close
cooperation only with the world's best manufacturing
company dedicated 100% to bicycle production and not
all carbon sporting goods (rackets, poles, golf
clubs...).
By
sub-contracting manufacturing and mold design, we
can focus on what we do best, investing heavily in
R/D and let our sub-contractor pay attention to
every production details to build a very reliable
and high level quality frame. This helps us produce
quickly innovative and reliable products with
characteristics that real competitive racers
require.
By
controlling fiber type, the number of tow, fiber
areal weight, the number, angle, shape and quantity
of ply, our skilled experience engineering staff can
create a proprietary laminated schedule to determine
the perfect strength and ride characteristics of our
frames.
Since not all composite frames are built equal, it
is very often impossible to tell how well fabricated
a frame is by looking at it, as imperfections
(wrinkles, air pockets ...) could be internal. Our
frame's molding process used a non-standard mold
technology to guarantee even compaction of the
carbon fiber layers on all internal tightly curved
surfaces.
With advanced R/D, innovative production process and
quality control, DOT Project sets a new performance
standard with the DOT Carbon Technology™.
You
do the distance, we shorten the time.™
Enjoy your ride,
