3D-Printing of Bikes..

[Ravi Kempaiah]

I just stumbled on this piece of exciting news.
People have used the 3D-printing technology to create Kidneys, Organs, Lithium-ion batteries and now it is time for bikes.
You can print your custom designed bike frames and put together an electric bike
How exciting is that??!!

Here is a link for 3D printed titanium bike frames.

Very cool, thanks for sharing Ravi and interesting timing... Back where I used to work we got a small MakerBot 3D printer for the office. It was fun to tinker with and I've started seeing more and more uses like jewelry and even camera components that work with different models. The step up to titanium vs. plastic and something as large as a bike is pretty amazing! Someone reached out to me last week asking about this and I haven't followed up yet but if anything comes from it I'll post back here.

I saw that article a few days ago in the Gizmag email I get in the mornings. These are interesting times for sure!
