Farsoon Europe GmbH and Stark Future have completed the KLINGA Project, a collaborative engineering initiative that produced more than 1,000 titanium parts using industrial metal additive manufacturing systems. The project created the KLINGA Sabre, an engineering sculpture inspired by Stark Future’s electric motocross bike VARG, featuring complex geometries and a functional titanium bottle opener.
The parts were manufactured on Farsoon’s FS811M platform in a single 248-hour build cycle. During this production run, 188 KLINGA sabres were produced with an average build time of under 80 minutes per unit. The project served as both a design exercise and a validation test for large-scale titanium 3D printing capabilities.
The KLINGA Project encompassed several technical validation areas, including process parameter development for titanium, design for additive manufacturing principles, and support reduction strategies. The initiative also tested adaptive layer thickness based on part height and evaluated the repeatability and scalability of serial production processes.
“The KLINGA Project was a bold way for us to push boundaries—not just in design, but in manufacturing,” says Benjamin Cobb, Director Brand Communications at Stark Future. “Partnering with Farsoon allowed us to turn an ambitious idea into a titanium reality. It’s proof that large-scale, high-precision metal additive manufacturing is ready for serial production.”
Stark Future, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, specializes in electric off-road motorcycles and already uses Farsoon systems for serial production of functional components for their electric motorbikes. Farsoon Technologies, founded in 2009, supplies industrial plastic and metal additive manufacturing platforms with open parameter strategies and localized European support.
