不銹鋼“3D打印”自行車

寂靜天花板

Need a bike? Print one up. Yeah, I know. It’s not exactly new to see custom-made 3D printed bicycles- back in 2015 Italian design studio Eurocompost unveiled their Bhulk MTB bike frame made out of recycled PLA filament and Portland-based Industry lifted the curtain on their titanium 3D printed, ‘connected’ bike Solid. While both of these are similar in how they were manufactured–printed in pieces first and then assembled together–a team of Dutch students from the Delft University of Technology has created their own version using a multi-axis 3D printing robot.
一家工業(yè)設(shè)計公司發(fā)布了它們的3D打印自行車，準(zhǔn)確地說是鈦合金材質(zhì)的自行車架。來自代爾夫特理工大學(xué)的荷蘭學(xué)生們最終完成了這件作品，用的PLA材料作幕布，即聚乳酸,是由玉米和木薯等植物‘變’的,植物經(jīng)過多道工序提煉出淀粉,經(jīng)微生物發(fā)酵成乳酸,再聚合成聚乳酸

The students employed a unique 3D printing method from MX3D to create their Arc Bicycle. MX3D Metal is the melding of an industrial robotic arm and a welding machine, using a rapid prototyping process known as Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). The process works as it sounds. An arc welder deposit metal one layer at a time on top of one another. Surprisingly, the process goes fairly quick.
學(xué)生們使用了MX3D公司的技術(shù)，這家公司2015年6月，在阿姆斯特丹市利用3D打印和焊接機(jī)器人建立一座大橋。

This also allows for larger builds over conventional 3D printing as space is limited only by the robotic arm’s reach. While the frame itself may look like it could bend and contort while being ridden, looks can be deceiving. The team took the 26-pound bike for trial rides around Delft’s cobblestone city streets with no issues what so ever.

Of course, the Arc Bicycle is just a design concept and not for mass production but the team hopes others with be inspired by their design and build their own. MX3D is also using larger WAAM robotic printers to print a stainless steel bridge in the heart of Amsterdam, in an effort to prove they can create an intricate, structurally sound bridge using the very same process. You can see more on that here.

真不錯，有一臺這樣的打印機(jī)好方便。

也就是打印了一部分車梁，然后組焊

3D打印沒能量產(chǎn)，價格高，其實這就是商機(jī)

用成熟的工業(yè)機(jī)器人來打印也是不錯的方法。
