3D printers
are a great bit of technology, For the past few years I have been seen some very creative fun uses for what I considered to be toys.I was however amazed to see this article,
I personally think it to be one of the best uses to date seen to promote their use for anything other than toys.
A tribute to the ingenuity and spirit of Humanity
What was the last thing that you seen if ever, That made you proud to be part of the race. ?
Have a great day My friends

I agree. Although conceptually unchanged the art of the bike has come a long way in its evolution. I was recently surprised when walking into a shop and seeing bikes that cost more than my car with tax and insurance
The cause of and solution to all of lifes problems
Indeed it is bro,
but the sooner they can make a whole woman the better for us men
I'm kidding of course
now adds $5000 US to the price.
Essentially one sets up the 3D printer, and attaches it to a PC. Into the PC a CAD blueprint of the desired product is loaded and run. The 3d printer then prints the part desired.
New printing formulations are available which are significantly stronger than the earlier plastics and high temperature formulations are also available. The primary reason early machines did not offer precision in manufacturing is because the earlier manufacturers of 3D printers had not expected the average home user to want or need precision, so they didn't build it in to the lower cost units. This has begun to change and around the world now home users of 3D printers are making everything from car engine parts to guns.
Many designs for many objects are available as free CAD downloads via the Internet. Many home users once they have made a CAD blueprint for the machine to follow place their design on the Web so other people can use it. So it is good to see someone coming out with beneficial designs too.

Now that could be a thing of the future if this blogs rising undertone
becomes a reality.
But being serious, How do governing bodies in the cycling sports regulate this tech, surly its looked on the same as performance enhancing drugs
Carlsberg Probably
So not all is black and white in Newcastle then
As an example, for the major Tours, a Bike can not exceed
14.96 lbs. Handlebars, stems etc. have to be within certain
dimensions. Hurtling down Mountains at speeds exceeding 90kph,
one would not want a lighter Bike, as strength becomes a factor.
a Chromoly frame now. All of them are produced in Taiwan(mostly)
and China. Gone are the Days of the Italian artisan hand welding
a frame.
Its a good job then that we have you to build our fires buy rubbing leaves together, should the grid ever fall.
Should read by not "BUY"
I just hate when my trying to be smart leads to proof of my own stupidity.
