03/03/25 - February Update

  • UNO order

    After some small delays on final texture decisions we've put through our UNO presale order!! Yieeew!! Provided logistics go well, deliver will be around March 30th. It feels even better than the last prototype, keen af!

  • DUE Alpha

    A nice lil shot of our 10 Alpha bodies we've received. We're keen to install our custom loadcell into these and have them ready for you come April.

  • PCB design

    Our latest PCB forms have come in and are on their way to be installed into each DUE Alpha.

  • App progress

    Our training app has been the hardest challenge yet. Cody has been utilising his coding wizardry while Pat has been working on the UI/UX to provide a stable and value packed release for ya'll!

HNY everyone! With the break of quarter century, we thought we'd give an official (still subject to change) timeline of our UNO and DUE to give an exciting countdown!

We've been hesitant to release any official timelines as logistics have been like a ping pong rally and we didn't want to keep switching up timelines.

Below is our (still subject to change) timeline of the UNO and DUE so far:

- DUE TIMELINE -

  • January 31 – Pre sales open via an IG post link. (Those that purchased the VIP list can also wait until April 27 to complete payment and will be provided a $1 discount code.)
  • February 19 – March 19 – Waiting period for 10 alpha orders. (1 month)
  • March 19 – March 26 – Assembly period. (1 week)
  • March 26 – April 26 – Alpha testing period. (1 month)
  • April 27 – Pre sale closes.
  • May – Ordering production parts.
  • June – Buffer month for any unexpected issues.
  • July 1 – FULFILLMENT!!

So ideally if we do not hit into any snags we can get the production rolling as early as June. Fingers crossed and praying to the climbing gods we can do this for you!!!

- UNO TIMELINE -

You asked and we delivered.

Being a lot simpler in design as a passive hold (no loadcell) we should be able produce the UNO imminently alongside the general process without much delay.

  • February 5th: Pre order closes.
  • February 6th: Manufacturing begins.
  • March 6th: Manufacturing ends. (1 month)
  • March 30th: Fulfilment.

What's up Formafam!

With the end of 2024, we hope you've had a successful year training and sending your projects! We would like to give you a long-overdue update about what is going on with the formaDUE (Bluetooth load cell) and our pathway going forward into 2025.

Update on the formaDUE:The last two months have been an absolute whirlwind of prototyping, designing, and most importantly, testing. Every time we thought we had a solution, a new problem came about, but we are excited to finally give you a complete update.

We hit a mechanical problem regarding how the load cell accounted for lateral force (sideways, not just vertical pulling). While this issue was a dealbreaker initially, we did eventually solve it (yay!).

However, with the new design, it sets us back a month due to the need for a redesigned load cell (exciting!) and supply delays spilling into the new year.

Cancellation of Kickstarter:In light of this, we have also decided to cancel our Kickstarter process. We've deemed it unnecessary as most of our sales will likely be in person, and we want to get the Forma Due in your hands as soon as possible!

So, with the cancellation of our Kickstarter campaign, we can have the formaDUE in your hands as early as March 2025. Pre-orders will likely open around January, reducing our timeline by 7 months (the original sale was planned for October 2025). Crazy!

Hopefully, this puts the last two months into perspective for you.

We’ve worked hard to stay true to our original schedule (technically saving more time recently) and will continue to work hard to produce the ultimate training product for you, just like we promised.

Cause this shit is gonna be awesome.

Introducing the formaUNO:Additionally, there has been community interest in a passive version of the Forma Due. We listened and are excited to announce the Forma Uno: a metal lifting 20mm edge (no load cell). This product will be released around late January 2025.

If you're interested in the formaUNO, hang tight. We're setting up a pre-order link and will update you via email. Plus, we’re offering a massive 50% discount on our first 25 units at $60(RRP $120). Those who have tested our current prototype know the power and innovation of our 20mm edge, so this is a huge bargain!

If you'd like to try out our prototype for the formaUNO, it’s arriving on January 5th, 2025. Feel free to contact us via IG or face-to-face.

Wrapping Up: As always, please don't hesitate to contact us, we're always open for a chat, discussion, feedback and/or questions, either face-to-face or via messaging on IG (@formafutura.co). You know where to find us.

Heading into 2025, we are super excited. We appreciate the community love and support so far and hope you have an amazing NYE.

And as always, don’t forget:

Time to train.

04/11/24

We are impatiently waiting for our prototype PCB to arrive so we can test our only prototype.
So far we have figured out most of the design issues, materialisation and complete product package we wish to deliver to our first buyers.

As much as we are keen to get this out to all ya'll crushers. We also one to make a quality product first and foremost so we are working hard to make sure that is paramount.
