Seeing the results from our SC Fraunhofer USA Alliance is what it’s all about!

Working with TIME Bicycles, the Alliance helped adapt High-Pressure Resin Transfer Molding (HP-RTM)β€”a technology proven in automotive manufacturingβ€”for carbon fiber bicycle production. The result: 30% faster manufacturing, stronger structures, and greater potential for large-scale North American production.

That success has already led to a second project aimed at reducing tooling costs by up to 50%.

Hear from TIME Bicycles CEO Tony Karklins on the partnership and its impact:https://ow.ly/sRp250Z1Ptl

Last week, several members of the SC Competes team gathered for a fun night out to support our colleague, Program Manager Mendy Lewis, as she took the stage in Workshop Theatre's production of Footloose.

It was great to step away from the day-to-day, spend time together, and enjoy a fun night out while supporting Mendy as she took the stage. We love opportunities like this to connect as a team and celebrate the talents and accomplishments of our colleagues beyond the workplace.

Congratulations, Mendy, on a fantastic performance! πŸ‘πŸŽΆπŸ’ƒ
