ARNIER is built on engineering and manufacturing excellence.
Our ethos is that all solutions should be engineering led, with a focus on performance and outcomes, and that form follows function. The ARNIER teams’ background is in manufacturing engineering in industries such as aerospace and high performance vehicles, covering process technologies including composites and machining.
Internal engineering and manufacturing capability is of paramount importance to ARNIER. We believe that by developing and making our own products, we can better optimise performance, control quality and manage the environmental impacts of our products.
We also believe that in the development and manufacture of our products we can build and expand skills in our business and community. As we grow ARNIER we intend to onboard talent here in Australia, and do our part in continuing the manufacturing and engineering legacy in New South Wales.
Carbon Fibre manufacturing is ARNIER’s foundation. For our initial products we’ve developed tooling and process technology which addresses the shortcomings of traditional closed mould tube manufacturing processes.
Formed from a single piece of pre-preg Carbon Fibre, components are then reinforced in specific areas to maximise robustness whilst minimising weight and optimising ride feel.
Our production systems prioritise quality of the product over quantity, meaning that all products are produced in strictly limited volumes.
Design ingenuity at ARNIER is powered by multiple decades of experience and exposure to cutting edge technologies for engineering and manufacturing.
We believe that modern design seeks a specific optimal condition or outcome, and fuses manual design skills with computational engineering to solve for that optimisation objective.
For SP1 (Seat Post 1) we’ve applied generative design tools to help refine the form and structure of our seat rail clamps. Using laser powder bed sintering we can manufacture these complex shapes in Titanium 6-4 alloy, chosen specifically for its compatibility with carbon fibre.
