Revolutionizing Outdoor Exploration with Innovative Design
Company: Bowhead Corp
Industry: Adaptive Sports Equipment
Company Overview: Bowhead Corp designs and manufactures adaptive sports equipment that empowers individuals with mobility challenges to spend more time outdoors. Their flagship product, the Bowhead Reach, is a highly customizable, all-terrain adaptive e-bike that combines cutting-edge engineering with user-centric design to enable outdoor exploration for riders of all abilities.
Bowhead Corp’s mission to create the Bowhead Reach came with unique hurdles. The team needed to balance innovative design with practical manufacturing processes while addressing the diverse needs of their target audience. Their product had to offer high levels of customization for riders with varying mobility requirements, all while maintaining safety, durability, and usability in extreme outdoor environments. Scaling production efficiently without compromising quality added another layer of complexity to their project.
Bowhead Corp. utilized SOLIDWORKS for Entrepreneurs, including design, simulation, communication, and visualization tools, to develop and manufacture the Bowhead Reach e-powered bike. They integrated SOLIDWORKS with Markforged carbon-fiber 3D printers to streamline the design and prototyping process.
By leveraging these specific tools, Bowhead Corp. accelerated their product development cycle, ensured design reliability, and successfully launched the Bowhead Reach a full year ahead of schedule.
“By designing parts and assemblies in SOLIDWORKS, 3D printing them, and then trying them out, we were able to iterate very quickly and launch the Reach a year ahead of schedule. We knew that we had something good, and our enthusiasm coupled with the efficiency of our design tools helped us to advance our design faster and reduce prototyping requirements on the back end.”
— Will Gill, Co-founder and Director of Research and Development
