A student team in the Netherlands designed and built a fully functional 3D printed bicycle, Via Cycling Weekly

It needed no lugs or jigs, and was virtually untouched by human hands until the head tube, seat tube clamp, drop outs and bottom bracket were fitted.

Then a human being proved its worth by riding the bike over cobbled streets.

“We tested the bicycle on the streets and it performed well. It offers quite a smooth ride,” say the creators, a team of five students at the Technical University of Delft, Netherlands.
