Arc Bicycle has 3D-printed steel frame created by TU Delft and MX3D

People in Amsterdam will soon be able to cycle over the world's first 3D-printed steel bridge on the world's first 3D-printed steel bicycle.
The Arc Bicycle was designed by a student team at TU Delft and 3D-printed from steel by MX3D - the research studio that plans to use the same technique to create a bridge over a canal in the Dutch capital.
Created as part of a three-month project, the bicycle's frame is made from a metal lattice welded in layers by robots.
MX3D's six-axis robotic arms allow metals and resins to be printed mid-air in any direction, without the need for support structures.
"3D printing has exploded in popularity in the last decade but for those wanting to print medium to large scale objects, there are still significant limitations in the technology," said Harry Anderson from the 3D Building FieldLab team at TU Delft.

Super TU Delft thank you for this great development!

[@stevenhirsch997]

i want one of these.

[@paycee17]

this is a SICK bike lads ! hats off

[@Biket3ch]

EXCELENTE, Congrats!

[@shashiekka7917]

PERFECT!!

[@Marcus-us3ws]

Excellent !

[@rschiwal]

This is a good development platform for a new technology, but I guarantee that this bike is heavy and fragile.

[@chejo6095]

cool bike

[@Vipenstrike]

Now print an entire bike :)

[@stephanjager8917]

Whats the music? - ahh got it, its written in the credits :)

[@jonienglish3231]

Should have made a thick over size FORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Could had used solid rod and welded joints...

[@StopaskingformynameYouTube]

yeah, but then it would just be any regular bike from before 1990..

[@rschiwal]

Most regular bikes from before 1990 are going to outperform this bike in every measurable way.

[@jonienglish3231]

Missing the Fork !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not Proportionate

[@Lickemstick]

Jebus... how long does THAT take?! I bet a car would look cool too if'n you had a couple weeks for it to 'print'.

[@sylverg5323]

+Jeremy Schoonover Remember the first digital cameras? Give it a bit of time, it'll get better.

[@TheGreatOldOak]

+Jeremy Schoonover How long do you think it would take human welders to print it? Could they even?

[@prajjwalgarag8815]

It looks hideous WTF is that they could have machined it to make it give a better appearance aesthetically smh :[

[@tunganetteki1468]

waste of resources

[@pibitchica]

what is the weight?

[@code3xiv]

mi za .... just above 25kg.

[@rock3tcatU233]

Around 245 Newtons.

[@Diogo-dt1uf]

ALL the weight!
