Technology:

D'Aluisio Smartweld Technology (DSW)
The D'Aluisio Smartweld welding technology, named after its inventor Chris D'Aluisio, is based on so-called hydroforming, the shaping of aluminum by hydraulic pressure. A flange with seam preparation is then formed, which is then welded. This improves accessibility during welding, produces cleaner welds due to more even heat distribution, and distributes the stiffness jump over a larger area. This not only ensures smoother stiffness transitions and lower load peaks but also contributes to material and weight savings because thinner wall thicknesses can be used. With this technology, the best can be extracted from aluminum, and frames can be made that are almost as precise and strong as carbon models but are naturally much more affordable.
