Arris wins GOOD DESIGN award for optimized composite structures
Company honored for innovative structural designs enabling the future of lightweighting across multiple industries.
Arris, a California-based manufacturing tech pioneer enabling the use of high-performance composites in mass-market products, announced it has won the GOOD DESIGN Award for its revolutionary carbon fiber optimized truss structure.
Arris’s first-of-its-kind lattice-type truss uses continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTP) to deliver a structure that embodies two ideals: exceptional strength-to-weight characteristics and exceptional scalability. This breakthrough replaces old fashioned I-beams and enables major performance upgrades in all products that move or anywhere that weight matters. The Arris truss is also corrosion-resistant, doesn’t require painting, and is completely recyclable.
Arris’s GOOD Design award is the latest recognition for the emerging company. Most recently, Arris’s Additive Molding(™) won the BIG Innovation Award and its Carbon Fiber Truss won the Red Dot Award: Design Concept, the largest professional design concept competition in the world. The company has also recently teamed up with Skydio to revolutionize drone design and manufacturing and has partnered with Bosch Venture Capital to bring advanced composites to new sectors.
Founded in 1950, GOOD DESIGN® is the oldest and most prestigious design awards program. Organized by the Chicago Athenaeum, the award creates awareness about contemporary design and honors products and industry leaders that charter new directions for innovation and push the envelope for competitive products in the world marketplace.
