It is said that technology benefits people. With the continuous development of 3D printing technology, our travel tools are constantly being iterated and updated. It is reported that Arevo announced the launch of eBike last week – an electric assist bicycle with a 3D printed carbon fiber frame.
Arevo combines 3D printing with Web-based software, robotics, machine learning, and thermoplastic materials to print all-sized parts using a “deposition head” mounted on a robotic arm to create a 3D shape for the bicycle frame. The process not only allows the material to be layered in any direction, but the size of the parts is virtually unlimited, and it also allows eBike to be customized for individual riders and to print on a large scale when needed.
In addition, according to Areevo, the new bicycle is printed with a thermoplastic fiber embedded in carbon fiber, which is about five times heavier than titanium and only one-third the weight.
