Physical isolation Silicon Valley company AREVO is a startup company that transforms the production of composite materials through digitalization and automation technology. It is currently building the world’s largest high-speed continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite material MaaS additive manufacturing plant.
The plant will be one of the largest, operating in a fast-turning manufacturing-as-a-service model and producing customized products on time. The strength-to-weight ratio of continuous CFRP composite materials can be more than 60 times that of steel, and it can be used in elite-level bicycles, Formula One racing cars, and the latest generation of fighters.
With the completion of Arevo’s second-generation composite deposition technology, which is more than four times faster than the first-generation technology, the company plans to host hundreds of production systems in Asian city centers that have not yet been announced. This will enable the company to meet the rapidly growing customer demand for large and complex geometric CFRP products.
Key executives have been hired to support and expand the business. The new CEO is serial entrepreneur Sonny Vu, who recently founded Misfit, a wearable company acquired by Fossil. Tuan TranPham is one of the longest-serving veterans (17 years) in the 3D printing industry and is now officially CRO. he. Recently he was the Chief Revenue Officer of Desktop Metal. Daisuke Tanaka, also a serial entrepreneur, is the new general manager of Japan. He has served as the general manager of many Japanese technology companies and has accumulated rich experience.
“The new team will be key to our success as we enter into this new expansion phase. We needed people who had a blend of startup experience, ability to scale technical businesses as well as deep industry experience in additive manufacturing,” said Hemant Bheda, Arevo Co-Founder and Chairman.
“It’s exciting to be a part of what is one of the most ambitious and interesting opportunities I’ve seen in the 3D-printing industry in the last 20 years,” added Tuan TranPham.
