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.

I confess to not fully understanding all the tech stuff but very exciting....

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.
