Stark Future and Farsoon Technology form strategic partnership
Electric motorcycle brand Stark will team up with Farsoon Technologies an industrial 3D printing company, aiming at revolutionising series production of key electric motorcycle components through advanced large-format metal powder bed fusion technology.
Combining their expertise, Stark Future and Farsoon are set to create a scalable manufacturing plan to deliver high-performance, cost-effective solutions for the premium electric motorcycle market.
With Farsoon’s extensive experience in pushing the boundaries of real-world additive manufacturing applications, the partnership will focus on product design innovation, process development, and volume production to enhance both functionality and sustainability in manufacturing workflows.
At the core of this collaboration is the investment in Farsoon’s FS721M-H-8-CAMS large-format metal 3D printing system. Featuring a 720 x 420 x 650 mm rectangular build cylinder and high-efficiency eight 1000W fiber lasers, this system significantly boosts productivity while lowering the cost per part.
The FS721M-H-8-CAMS also integrates Farsoon’s Continuous Additive Manufacturing Solution (CAMS) concept, utilising an internal conveyor system and a unique exchangeable cartridge strategy to maximize “Laser-on” time.
This enables true continuous production with minimal downtime between build jobs, allowing for high-turnover, intensive manufacturing.
Anton Wass – CEO of Stark Future
“This strategic partnership with Farsoon Technologies represents a pivotal advancement for Stark Future as we pursue our mission to revolutionize the motorcycle industry with high-performance electric motorcycles with unparalleled performance, quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Stark strongly believes that mass production of Titanium 3D printing is a natural next step in producing better motorcycles. Farsoon’s cutting-edge large-format metal 3D printing technology empowers us to scale production of a technology previously only used in F1, space and prototyping while maintaining our rigorous standards for performance and durability. Together, we are raising the bar in the motorcycle industry and are confident that this partnership will drive innovations that have never been done before in production vehicles. Stark is expecting to be the first automotive manufacturer to mass-produce components in titanium 3D printing.”
