Well it looks as though that's now on the cards. Currently some size limitations but it's sure to be scaled up.

I said there are currently size constraints .... although the current technology might be able to make a frame for Tim, there is no way it's going to cope with the "Giant of Tadley" in the near future.

Wake me up when they can print carbon fibre wheels...
And if you want a CF frame, you need to speak to a certain Mr Derek Chittenden - lives near Buckingham. He's been producing them since 1990.
