However, designing bikes that take full advantage of the technology is a challenge that requires a great range of engineering and design specialties. RBC’s goal for the project was to design and manufacture a fully customizable product that could be sold online to the public.ĪM is an exciting proposition to bike manufacturers as it has huge potential to allow for greater customization. In recent years, there have been several interesting examples where 3D printing or additive manufacturing have been employed in the bike industry.
Renishaw, a leading developer of additive manufacturing machinery, and Altair ProductDesign, were given the role of ensuring that the bike took full advantage of the flexibility that additive manufacturing offers. The team approached HiETA Technologies, a specialist in design and engineering solutions for additive manufacturing technologies. RBC’s goal is to use additive manufacturing (AM) technologies to create very high-end mountain bikes that are tailored to an individual’s weight, height, and riding style.Īlthough the team at RBC had considerable experience in additive manufacturing and developing products, it required multiple partnerships. When creating the company, RBC’s founders identified the potential of combining additive manufacturing technologies with carbon fiber too. Robot Bike Company (RBC) is a start-up established in the UK by aerospace engineers and mountain biking enthusiasts.
