3D printing - bicycle

May look like an ordinary bicycle but imagine that this bike has been “printed” on computer and i mean that!
The scientists at the University of Bristol developed an amazing technology that allows printing products through computer and nylon material, the scientists developed nylon in a way to make it equal the strength of aluminum and steel but 65% lighter ! All you have to do with this printer is to fill the “ink”, which consists of nylon powder and design what you want on the computer , the printer will spray the poweder in the form of layers one over the other , to get -at the end – anything you want!!
