05 Feb 2016: Cycling the world’s first 3D-printed steel bridge on the world’s first 3D-printed bicycle
The Arc Bicycle was designed by a student team at TU Delft and 3D-printed from steel by MX3D – the research studio that plans to use the same technique to create a bridge over a canal in Amsterdam. Created as part of the six-month Advanced Prototyping course at the university, the bicycle's frame is made from a metal lattice welded in layers by robots. MX3D's six-axis robotic arms allow metals and resins to be printed mid-air in any direction, without the need for support structures.
28 Dec 2015: THE HOUR: THE COLLECTION
A series dedicated to showing the science of cycling technology. The Hour Record. The purest test of a rider and machine, the hardest ride of them all.
The story of The Hour is one of drama and intrigue disproportionate to the simplicity of the challenge. From the great Eddy Merckx’s shattering of the record in 1972 to Bradley Wiggins’s awesome fusion of fitness and technology in 2015. This series of prints illustrates the great and sometimes controversial record-breaking rides that defined their eras.
The Hour strips aside every outside influence on the rider. One rider, on the track. No wind, no hills, no drafting. Just the rider and the bike.
The man-machine.
