Varoom Brings 3-D Tech To Bear on Belt Buckles for Motorcycle Enthusiasts

Style and Substance Rendered in Stainless Steel Pittsburg, PA (May 16, 2019) – Three-dimensional printing technology has advanced quite a bit in the last few years, but one company is uniquely applying the tech and concepts to stainless steel for the motorcycling community. Using exclusively licensed technology developed at M.I.T., Varoom is producing stainless steel designs and logos on belt buckles that cater to the outlaw in all of us. “We wanted to create something tough but alluring,” said Fritz Keck, President of Varoom. “The resulting mixture of craftsmanship, iconography and aesthetic purity in the products is exactly what we had in mind.” Varoom offers an intricacy of design unavailable from any other 3-D printing outfits. Their heavy-duty metal belt buckles are available in two finishes: antique nickel and antique bronze ox. They offer varying designs—skulls, knights, crosses, wheels, wings, swords, crests, you name it—and many feature custom engraving options for personal and motorcycle club names. Multiple designs are adorned with crystals from Swarovski® Crystals, the world’s leader in elegant crystals. Available colors include Aquamarine, Crystal, Emerald, Sapphire, and Siam—as skull’s eyes, on sword hilts, in wheel spokes, these beautiful stones catch the eye and take a design to a new level. “The thing about these belt buckles is they’re not just sharp—they’re utilitarian,” said Keck. “We’re providing an accessory as durable and attractive as the bike you ride.” Using a perfect symbiosis of imagination and technology, each 3-D item is custom-made and hand-finished in the United States. Varoom’s products have a lifetime warranty and are guaranteed against rusting and adverse weather conditions. Varoom’s belt buckle product line features over 20 original designs, with more in the works, and the company also has the capacity to manufacture customer-provided designs.

Count on your MRF to keep you informed about a range of matters that are critical to the advancement of motorcycling and its associated lifestyle. Published weekly when the U.S. Congress is in session. Capitol Hill Update Republicans Pressing Democrats With Democrats now the majority party in the House of Representatives, they control the committee chairmanships and thus control the agenda for each committee. The House Energy and Commerce Committee, who has jurisdiction over autonomous vehicle technology, is now chaired by Frank Pallone of New Jersey. This puts Republicans in a role they not been in since 2010, seeking the help of Democrats to tackle legislative priorities. Republican Greg Walden of Oregon, the previous chairman and now ranking member as well as Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers of Washington and Bob Latta of Ohio sent Chairman Pallone a letter regarding the need for Congress to act on autonomous vehicles legislation. “We write to urge the Energy and Commerce Committee to take up bipartisan self-driving vehicle legislation. Last Congress this Committee worked across party lines to draft H.R. 3388, the Safely Ensuring Lives Future Deployment and Research in Vehicle Evolution Act (SELF DRIVE Act). The SELF DRIVE Act was an example of this Committee at its very best: working together, across the aisle, to develop legislation that will advance lifesaving technology. As a result of our deliberative, transparent, and bipartisan process, the Committee voted unanimously, 54 yeas and 0 nays, to report the SELF-DRIVE Act to the House floor where it again passed unanimously. Unfortunately, the Senate failed to act on the bill,” Walden, Latta, and Rodgers wrote. The MRF has
