    BMW prints a bike!

    Il primo telaio stampato in 3D con alluminio.

    Just one week after BMW displayed a carbon swingarm, it has revealed a 3D-printed aluminium chassis and swingarm for the S1000RR. BMW says the chassis is a result of digitalised manufacturing, which allows it to custom build highly-complex objects. It also gives the firm the ability to rapid prototype new components, with its new research centre producing over 140,000 prototype parts per year.

It isn’t a new technology as such – aerospace firms were using it in the 1980s. 3D printing divides an object up into tiny slithers which then build up a printout, layer by layer, based on a design drawing. Motorcycle firms were actually late adopters. Bike companies started using 3D printing to make

    Notizia non proprio freschissima, era gi? da due settimane che se ne parlava.

    Mancavano gli articoli in rete, tout ?a.

      Quanto mi piacerebbe vedere dal vivo come stampano in 3d con l'alluminio.

          Ma non avete parlato del nuovo forcellone in termopolimeri rinforzato in carbonio?

          BMW Motorrad has just unveiled a carbon fibre swingarm that was developed with the specific aim of making it possible to cost-effectively mass-produce the component – opening the door for a high-end road bike with not only a carbon frame and wheels, but also now a carbon swingarm. The firm already uses lightweight materials, and extensively carbon fibre, in its car side with the i3 pioneering the use of a carbon frame shell on a mass-produced vehicle. And just last year this technology was transferred over to Motorrad when it appeared on the BMW HP4 Race, which features a carbon frame and wheels. Could this new development pave the way for a BMW road bike using this technology? TOP STORIES Essex Police defend stinger use on bikers Poll: Has Marc Marquez over-stepped the mark?

              Per il portafoglio? Di sicuro. Si parla di pochi minuti per la produzione di un pezzo.

                Cavolo fino a dove si ? spinta la tecnologia
                nn avrei pensato si arrivasse a produrre un telaio con la stampa 3d.
