England invented the world’s first bike which print through the computer
February 4 news, according to British media reports, British scientists have invented the world's first bicycle which print-out from a computer : Airbike.
Recently, in Filton, England, the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Group (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Group) shows a new bike, although the shape and there is not much special about, but according to the group of scientists introduced, which bicycles is to use an additive layer manufacturing techniques (additive layer manufacturing) to print out.
It is understood that the "air bike" the use of nylon as a material, as strong as steel and aluminum structure of the car, but the weight was reduced by 65%. The scientists first designed on the computer, followed by superimposed layers of nylon material to be melted by the printer, to create a bike.
According to reports, this 3D printing technology only need to use the common method of 1/10 material, the future can be widely used in aerospace and automobile manufacturing.
