BigRep reveals "world's first" fully 3D-printed motorbike

Nera, a fully 3D-printed motorbike designed by NOWlab, the innovation arm of German additive manufacturing company BigRep, has been unveiled with futuristic visuals akin to the Batmobile and the vehicles in Blade Runner.
Billed as a "world first" by the company, all parts of the Nera electric motorbike - excluding the electrical components - have been 3D-printed, including the tyres, rims, frame, fork (which connects the front wheel and axle to the frame) and seat.
The vehicle was designed by Marco Mattia Cristofori and Maximilian Sedlak from BigRep's innovation lab, called NOWlab, to display the firm's ability to use new materials and techniques, and is not yet for sale.
