World First Metal 3D Printed Bicycle Frame

grabcad

Introducing the world's first 3D printable titanium bicycle frame model! As 3D printer prices drop and build volume increases, simply download, print, and ride. Frame specifications include a 29er hardtail M size, compatibility with SRAM XX1 drive train systems, a 1.5" head tube for Lefty 90mm, and an 83 mm BB for PressFit 30. However, it should only be printed in titanium alloys (preferably grade 5), respect licensing agreements, make bottle cage threads yourself, and note the lack of cable routing. The model was created using SolidWorks and Rhino with T-Splines, and FEA static structural analysis was performed in Ansys. For inquiries, contact pawel.alexander@gmail.com.
