Discussion: 3D Printing and BMX

May 7, 2015

We’ve seen technology advance A LOT over the years and the things that can be done with BMX bikes and parts are pretty amazing. One thing we haven’t seen much of, yet, is 3D printing of products. There’s a really good discussion over on BIKEGUIDE talking about 3D Printing of products and if and how well it would work. It’s a real interesting read and there are a lot of photos of non-BMX products that have been 3D printed and some setups a few of the guys like G-Sport’s George French are working with. Check that out RIGHT HERE.

What do you guys think about 3D Printing? Think it would work with BMX? Let’s talk about it in the comments!

“James Hitchcox, Sean Pointing, Josh Wyles, and Billy Purcell absolutely demolish every park they ride, including Rampworld, The Junkyard, and Mount Hawke. Amazing parks, amazing riders, one big ol’ van, and plenty of beer. For a BMX lover it doesn’t get any better than that. So come ride Stourbridge, Stroud, Cardiff, Saltash, and Newquay with Zeal Distribution’s in-house brand ‘Alone’, as the crew head south and stop off at every town along the way.
