Rapid prototyping and 3D printing technology has changed the way some DIY-ers and inventors approach creating. Being able to conjure a physical object out of thin air (or, more accurately, plastic filament) is certainly useful, but German company BigRep has pulled out all the stops and built an electric motorcycle that is almost entirely constructed out of 3D-printed parts.
As Designboom explains, the bike is the work of BigRep’s NOWlab division, and it’s a real marvel of 3D printing know-how. Everything from the frame and seat to the rims and even the tires were printed from scratch.
