9T Labs (Zürich, Switzerland), a specialist in digital, automated, cost-competitive series production of continuous fiber components, has been awarded the Red Dot Design Award 2022 for Product Design towards its Red Series Build and Fusion Modules. 9T Labs says the award marks the Red Series as a top performer in design and functionality, achieving smart innovation along with appealing aesthetics.
Considered one of the largest international design competitions, the Red Dot Award has aimed to appraise diversity in the field of design for more than 60 years, from businesses that distinguish their activities through appealing and conceptual ideas. Entries compete in three main categories: Product Design, Brands and Communication Design, and Design Concept.
9T Labs shares this award with its design partner, Meyer-Hayoz Design Engineering AG (Winterthur, Switzerland). “We are delighted the ideas that went into the design of the Red Series have been recognized for their significant impact in the global market space,” notes CEO Wolfgang Meyer-Hayoz. “We congratulate 9T Labs on this great accomplishment and look forward to its future projects.”
The Red Series reportedly certifies itself as a standout in aesthetic design, while delivering prolific innovation for advanced composites in the field of additive manufacturing (AM). It is said to be able to create continuous fiber-reinforced polymer components that weigh up to 80% less than traditional metal parts while increasing product strength significantly.
The award adds to 9T Labs’ third-place recognition as a TOP 100 Swiss Startup in 2021 and its Solar Impulse Foundation Efficient Solution Label award as a credible trademark of quality and for its economic commitment to product profitability.
“This is an amazing achievement for the designers and technologists involved with the Red Series and acknowledges the hard work of everyone at 9T Labs,” says Yannick Willemin, head of marketing and business development. “We are thankful for the partnership with Meyer-Hayoz Design Engineering and gratefully accept the Red Dot Design Award as a sign of our commitment for pioneering Innovation moving forward.”
As winners of the Red Dot Design Award 2022, 9T Labs says it has gained global recognition and will benefit from a variety of industry contacts from international designers, manufacturers and potential customers.
