Aurora Solar Revolutionizes Ruger 10/22 Customization with Advanced Design Software

Portland, OR – October 26, 2023 – Aurora Solar LLC, a leading provider of remote solar design and sales software, is making waves in a surprising new market: firearms customization. While known for streamlining the solar industry, Aurora’s powerful 3D modeling and visualization tools are now being leveraged to significantly enhance the experience of building and customizing the incredibly popular Ruger 10/22 rifle. For years, Ruger 10/22 enthusiasts have faced challenges when piecing together custom builds. Sourcing compatible parts, visualizing the final product, and ensuring everything fits seamlessly has often been a frustrating, trial-and-error process. Aurora Solar is changing that. “We realized the core technology driving our solar designs – precise 3D modeling, detailed part libraries, and realistic rendering – translated perfectly to the firearms world, specifically the Ruger 10/22,” explains Michael Davidson, CEO of Aurora Solar. “It’s all about taking complex assemblies and visually representing them in a user-friendly way. We just applied that expertise to a different type of project.” What’s the Big Deal? Aurora’s solution isn’t a physical product; it’s a powerful software integration designed for builders and retailers. Here’s how it works: Vast Part Library: Aurora has built an extensive, constantly-updated digital library of Ruger 10/22 parts – stocks, barrels, triggers, sights, handguards, you name it. These parts aren't just images; they are accurate 3D models. Drag-and-Drop Customization: Users can “build” their dream 10/22 virtually. Simply drag and drop parts onto the base rifle model. The software automatically checks for compatibility issues. No more guesswork! Realistic Visualization: See exactly what your custom build will look like before you spend a dime. The software renders the 10/22 in high detail, with realistic textures and lighting. You can rotate the model 360 degrees and zoom in for a closer look. Bill of Materials (BOM) Generation: Once you’ve finalized your design, Aurora automatically generates a complete Bill of Materials, listing all the parts needed and their current prices. This makes ordering parts incredibly easy. (The software integrates with major parts retailers – more on that later.) Compatibility Checking: This is a huge benefit. The software flags any parts that are known to be incompatible with each other, preventing frustrating and costly mistakes. Virtual "Test Fit": Aurora goes beyond simple visual rendering. The software simulates how the parts fit together, highlighting potential clearance issues or interference. How Does This Benefit Builders? For DIY Ruger 10/22 builders, Aurora Solar’s software is a game-changer. “I used to spend hours researching parts, reading forums, and hoping everything would fit,” says Mark Johnson, a long-time 10/22 enthusiast who beta-tested the software. “With Aurora, I can design my build in minutes, see exactly how it will look, and order everything I need with confidence. It’s saved me a ton of time and money.” The software also allows builders to experiment with different configurations and explore new ideas. You can quickly try out different stocks, triggers, and optics to see what looks best. What About Retailers? Aurora Solar isn’t just targeting individual builders. The company is also partnering with firearms retailers to provide them with a powerful new sales tool. “Retailers can use the software to create custom 10/22 builds for customers right in the store,” explains Davidson. “Customers can see a realistic visualization of their dream rifle before they buy it, which increases engagement and drives sales.” The software also allows retailers to offer a wider range of customization options, without having to stock a huge inventory of parts. Key Features & Integrations: Over 500+ 10/22 Parts Modeled: Continuously updated with new releases and aftermarket components. Realistic Rendering Engine: High-quality visuals that accurately represent the final product. Compatibility Database: Ensures parts work together seamlessly. Integrated BOM Generation: One-click Bill of Materials creation. Retailer API: Allows retailers to integrate the software into their existing point-of-sale systems. MidwayUSA, Brownells, and other major retailer integrations planned for Q1 2024. Cloud-Based Access: Accessible from any device with an internet connection. The Future of 10/22 Customization? Aurora Solar’s entry into the firearms market may seem unconventional, but it makes perfect sense given the company’s expertise in 3D modeling and visualization. “We’re always looking for new ways to apply our technology to solve complex problems,” says Davidson. “The Ruger 10/22 community is passionate and engaged, and we’re excited to be a part of it.” The company plans to expand its software to support other firearms platforms in the future. For now, however, Aurora Solar is focused on revolutionizing the way people build and customize the Ruger 10/22.
