Discussion: 3D Printing and BMX

3d-printing

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!

Threads Vol. 6

Man, I don’t know about you, but this week flew by! It’s Friday, so that seems to be the time we’ve been taking a look at Bikeguide to see what they have going on over on the board. We’ve picked up two interesting threads that will get you thinking or have you laughing your ass off to look at!

The first one we picked out is 3D Printing Titanium Parts! There’s been a lot of talk about 3D printing lately and it seems like there’s been more and more people looking into how to make it work for bikes. There’s been a few uses of titanium that are proving to be more affordable than CNC machining and it seems like the concept is getting even closer to actually being used. We even get a look at George French of G-Sport‘s personal 3D printing setup he has been using to prototype designs. Well worth looking into!

The second thread we’ve picked out is for anyone looking to laugh. The Post Internet Funnies (NSFW) thread has a ton of hilarious meme’s, Facebook screen shots, .GIFS and more. This one hits the Not Safe For Work Zone, so only check this out if your boss or mom isn’t around, haha.
