At EUROBIKE 2024, visitors had the opportunity to catch an exciting glimpse into the future of bicycle components and frame building.
On Friday, July 5, 2024, the stage at the EUROBIKE HANDMADE AREA was dedicated entirely to 3D printing and its groundbreaking applications. "PrintFriday" provided in-depth insights into the world of additive manufacturing and its potential for customized bicycle frames and components.
Hellen Wiehr from HEZO spoke about the benefits of 3D-printed, custom-made cycling shoes and explained how these solutions can address fit issues. Her presentation highlighted the development of the first custom road cycling shoe and demonstrated the resulting improvements in comfort and performance.
Afterward, Clemens Schwöbel from Fingerprint Cycling explained the possibilities of 3D printing for manufacturing custom-fitted bicycle saddles. He demonstrated how this technology allows saddles to be tailored to each rider's specific needs while maintaining competitive prices.
In the "Discover3Dprinting" seminar, Stefan Reich from the ACAM Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing covered all essential information about 3D printing and answered questions about getting started in the world of additive manufacturing.
In conclusion, Ingo Uckelmann from Fraunhofer IAPT presented frame designs for high-performance bicycles made possible by the advantages of additive manufacturing. His presentation was aimed at both enthusiasts and professionals, offering an in-depth look at the latest developments and applications of 3D printing in bicycle frame construction.
PrintFriday at EUROBIKE 2024 provided a unique platform for exchanging ideas and deepening knowledge on the current developments and applications of 3D printing in bicycle manufacturing. Attendees had the opportunity to learn from leading experts and connect with like-minded individuals.
