Aluminum backbones for downhill bikes
Intense Cycles uses 3D-printed parts made of validated 6061 RAM2 for the production of prototypes, in particular the backbone. This component connects the front triangle of the frame with the spring-loaded rear end of the bicycle and takes on all the stresses of demanding downhill World Cup racing. The material is not just easy to weld but is also suitable for anodizing. The TruPrint 3000 enables these parts to be produced with an excellent surface quality and high level of productivity.
