DESIGN
SERVICES
Zen Composites can participate in the
development of composite products, from initial design, prototype
development, right up to the production tooling stage. See the
Analysis section for our finite element
analysis capability. CAD software is used in the design stage as
well as CNC machining software. We have used various materials
(carbon, Kevlar, fiberglass and natural fibers) in prototype
development. See the Mold Design section
for our capabilities in mold development for manufacturing.
Prosthetic
Foot
Low-cost prosthetic foot for use
by amputees. The use of composite materials such as
fiberglass, combined with a unique design, allows for easy
manufacturing and assembly of the foot, thus keeping costs
low. The design and concept of the foot were made by
Sebastien Dubois, Industrial Designer. |

New Design
for a Carbon Fiber Hockey Stick Blade
A hockey stick blade and the
mold required for producing it. This blade incorporates
novel material in its interior construction.
|
|
Broomball
Stick
A tapered carbon fiber shaft is
used in the design of a carbon fiber broomball stick.
|
Boomerang
A lightweight and reliable
design for a boomerang can be produced with repeatable
results using carbon fiber.
|
|
Race Car
Wheel
Wheel design for FSAE class race
car. This two-piece design is made from carbon fiber
composites, which greatly reduces the weight of the wheel
while providing sufficient stiffness and fatigue resistance.

Design of a
Carbon Fiber Crank
An all carbon-fiber bicycle
crank was designed to maximize stiffness and minimize weight
and use of metal inserts.
|
|
Aerobar
Design of an aerodynamic
handlebar for a triathelon bicycle
|
Bicycle Stem
All-composite bicycle stem
designed for True Temper Sports
|
Monocoque
Frame Design
Optimized design of an extremely
light bicycle frame, manufactured in one piece
|

Non-Conductive Cutting Tool
Developing a safe, but lightweight tool for cutting tree
branches near hydro-electric power lines. Several material
alternatives were considered in order to save weight, yet
keep the major part of the shaft non-conductive for safety.
