“Liberté Initiale” Professional Sports Equipment Research and Development ——Manufacture

2016-08-24


Investment on outdoor leisure, sports activity, cycling, travel and non-athletic sports would be a huge market part for a long period of domestic demand increasing after Chinese economic development stagflation.

 

So we set out from our own experience, found that many outdoor product design has yet to be perfected. Especially for the purpose of entertainment and leisure activities, consumers will be more or less to carry their belongings. And compared with abroad, the professional degree has much room to improve, mainly in design rather than in manufacture. At the same time, we can know from our experience that compared to other products, bags with nylon type chemical fiber products has higher wear-resisting degree and stronger, low cost, complete accessories. The key is that we have the superiority of complete industrial chain in China, design and the production can be easily concatenated in China.


The 1st Stage of Bag Planning

1. Fabric of Bag

Mainly made of nylon fabric;


Brands also have their own patent cloth, mostly are on the basis of  different lines through different process of spinning and weaving, and may be coated with functional coating;

Nylon fiber degrees (Denier) as the strength standard, 160D, 210D, 330D, 420D, 600D, 900D, 1000D, etc., the higher the number is, the more strong it is, and the more coarse the grain is;


2. Research of Lock

Motorcycle Lock Types




3. Structure Design

The structure design is an essential part of products, but we are not only aiming at the ‘simple structure’, we have an overall design; 


In order to meeting the modeling needs, we always add our own ideas on the product process and structure. Enterprise will make a mature technology and feasible structure as designers’ ideas, by researching, developing and practicing. There is possibly to implement some additional features or new structure and appearance, etc. In conclusion, I think that appearance, function and structure are inseparable and complementary to each other.


4. Market

Customer group;

Professional motorcycle racing;

Amateur motorcycle friends;

Motorcycle taxi, people do small business.


Initial Products Orientation: Because Louis himself has riding experience for many years, and all bike-riders haven’t solve the problem —— lock bag


2nd Stage of Bag Planning:  In search of raw materials

Nylon tape/cloth/plastic shell/pin/zip/D buckles

Selecting two or three from each category to compare, research staff visit suppliers repeatedly, factories, technical, materials, etc.

3rd Stage of Bag Planning: Concept Forming

Concept Manuscript




Concept Forming




4th Stage of Bag Planning: Manufacture Fabrication (1st generation sample)

After 2 days’ hard work, Ada finally made a sample on its own by looking for alternative materials (PVC Drainage Pipeline), imitating leather and nylon material of potential suppliers, concepts manuscript, 3D modeling and discussion.



For many R&D products, if did not do this sample, we can’t find out problems. Because product concept is only formed in our brain and have the limitations in width and depth of thinking; PC 3D is only make the thoughts more abstract, it lacking of touch sense, hardness, space visual perception. By making sample, we can found that we only solve the surface structure problem, if we place something of different sizes inside of the bag, the noise problem is exposed in front of us when the vehicle bumps.
