A real bicycle that you can grow?...from nylon?
Shades:
More for the mechanically inclined:
A link to a bicycle that is 'grown' instead of constructed. :huh:
Deozaan:
Calling that "growing" is a bit misleading. But the technology is still pretty neat. :Thmbsup:
AndyM:
I think the manufacturing process is earth shaking. They're not exaggerating when they call it "game-changing technology" and a "paradigm shift". The mind boggles.
Renegade:
Looking at the bike, it instantly make you think of 3D printing, and:
Similar in concept to 3D printing, the bike design is perfected using computer-aided design and then constructed by using a powerful laser-sintering process which adds successive, thin layers of the chosen structural material until a solid, fully-formed bike emerges.

But they don't really explain the difference.
Still, it sounds very cool. I wonder how long it will be before it hits production.

Indeed. I expected you can eat it once you've reached your destination. ;)
