3T to Use VISTAGY FiberSIM for Bicycle Components
 WALTHAM,
MA, May 15, 2008 - VISTAGY, Inc., a leading global provider of specialized
engineering software, today announced a technical partnership with 3T, one
of the foremost names in Italian cycling. 3T will use VISTAGY’s FiberSIM
software to design, manufacture and optimize the composite components it
produces for professional and amateur cyclists. The partnership will provide
VISTAGY with valuable insight and experience so it can become an enabling
technology in the bicycle components market.
 “FiberSIM is the best technology available to engineer composite
products, and we believe that’s what it takes to produce safety-critical
components for world-class athletes,” said Rene Wiertz, president and CEO of
3T. “Our partnership with VISTAGY is further evidence of our commitment to
invest in engineering and become the best-in-class component supplier for
the bicycle industry.” 3T has entirely renewed its model line—which
currently includes stems, drop bars, aero bars, forks and seat posts—to take
advantage of the unique properties of composite materials. 3T is investing
in the people and tools necessary to design outstanding cycle components,
realized with state-of-the-art composite engineering made possible by
FiberSIM.
“3T is introducing the same standards of professional engineering to
cycling that now exist in aerospace and race car design,” said Richard
McAinsh, 3T’s technical director. “FiberSIM is critical to that effort and
is a key component of our product development platform, which also consists
of leading computer-aided-design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA)
software. These three systems working together give us greater control over
manufacturing, significantly increased product quality and reduced
time-to-market. We believe this is the new standard for engineering cycle
components, and we look forward to working with our colleagues at VISTAGY to
raise the bar still further.”
“We’re pleased to have the opportunity to partner with a leading
manufacturer of bicycle components,” said Steve Luby, president and CEO of
VISTAGY. “It will give us a foothold in an exciting new market and enable us
to help 3T deliver products of unprecedented quality and sophistication to
cycling professionals and enthusiasts.”
About the New 3T
3T is a venerable name in Italian cycling. Since 1961 many of the great
champions have put their trust in 3T handlebars and handlebar extensions.
The re-launch of the 3T brand in 2007 has brought major new investment in
advanced design and engineering. 3T renewed its entire product range to
provide world-class racers with high-performance cycle components that meet
and exceed all of their demands. The company’s goal is to offer the ultimate
performance, together with an unwavering focus on safety and a love of
elegant form that has characterized 3T since its distinctive shield first
