In May, startup AREVO, launched its 3D printed all terrain city bike. However, the company didn’t stop there, and it has now unveiled the world’s first battery-assisted bike with a 3D carbon fiber frame.

It’s the second application of its unique carbon fiber 3D printing technology that allows for enhanced scalability. By using the company’s “one-of-a-kind 3D printing process”, they’re claiming to be able to save time creating the bikes. As well as this, the process provides designers and manufacturers with freedom.

AREVO’s process combines software, which can be used to test parts before they’re printed, with robotics, in the form of a robotic arm, and thermoplastic materials to create strong and durable final products which are customized for the rider.

Jim Miller, CEO of AREVO, said: “We have created a new paradigm for manufacturing that empowers businesses to create and source products locally by leveraging advancements in dynamic software and automation… The development of the eBike has proven that we can 3D print a new product when needed, at a low cost and localize the manufacturing process – significantly cutting down on the process and time it has taken historically to create bike frames.”
