If you are the owner of a high-end mountain bike or road bike made by the small but dedicated group of independent bicycle manufacturers in the United States, you\u2019ve probably never heard of Autometrix. But many of the companies that hand craft very high-quality bikes \u2013 bikes that consistently win world championship competitions \u2013 rely on an Autometrix pattern cutting machine. These companies manufacture the bicycles they design right here in the United States so that they can maintain full control over the entire design and manufacturing process. We blogged in December about one such company: Allied Cycle Works<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no surprise that so many of Autometrix\u2019s customers are bicycle manufacturers. First of all, Autometrix is located in Nevada County<\/a>, which is full of world class mountain biking trails and hosts the second oldest road bike race in the nation. A large number of Autometrix employees take off at lunch to ride trails that are located right next to the Autometrix offices. Is that co-location a coincidence? Nope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it\u2019s easy for them to talk to customers like Carl Turner, Composite Design Engineer at ENVE, a bicycle manufacturer that designs and hand builds bicycle wheels and components in Ogden, Utah. ENVE<\/a> has three Autometrix fabric cutting tables. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine what life would be like without automation,\u201d said Turner. \u201cWe can adjust and cut new pieces and new prototypes just as fast as we can think it.\u201d Quick iterations of new prototypes is key to success in the high-end bicycle industry. \u201cIf you\u2019re not innovating, you\u2019re going to die,\u201d said Turner. Watch this video<\/a> below to get an inside look at the design process for an ENVE products (and to see ENVE athletes ripping up some awesome trails). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
