Saddles Part 2 – SELLE SMP. Posted by Editor on Apr 6th, 2013 in Reviews | 0 comments Here is what the manufacturers have been researching, as well as my analysis after testing these saddles (in the order that I received the saddles from the manufacturers)… SELLE SMP – Their racing saddles fall under one of two product lines.
One product line is for cyclists with XSmall-Small-Medium hips, the other product line is for cyclists with Medium-Large-XLarge hips. At the top of both product lines are full carbon saddles. Bicycle Seats Bike Saddles Explained by Jim Langley. The Science of bicycle seats Your seat must fit your type of riding and your body.
The faster you ride, the more likely it is you’ll want a narrow, racing-style seat. This is because, a fast-riding position on a bike shifts you forward placing more weight on the hands and feet and reducing a lot of the weight on the seat. Also, as you pedal more vigorously, you spin faster and you don’t want interference from the sides of the seat. As you ride more casually, however, such as on a cruiser bike with wide backswept handlebars, most of your weight is planted directly on the seat. These factors make a wide, heavily padded saddle ideal to support your weight and provide cushioning. Equally important, most manufacturers offer their popular seat models in both men’s and women’s versions and there are significant differences. Next, the seat must fit your particular anatomy. The problem with the nose of the bicycle seat is that it bothers many riders, both women and men.

Additive Manufacturing Technologies Additive Manufacturing is a term referring to a range of layer-upon-layer manufacturing technologies, used for both prototyping and manufacturing purposes. It allows complex components to be manufactured that, in many cases, could not be manufactured using traditional manufacturing techniques.
In contrast to conventional 'subtractive' manufacturing, where material is removed from a solid block to create the desired part, 'additive' manufacturing (AM) starts with nothing and builds the part layer by layer until the part is complete. Additive manufacturing is capable of manufacturing complex parts, from a number of different materials, without the need for tooling or machining. AM has few restrictions on the complexity of the parts it can produce, thus giving designers 'complexity for free'. The different AM technologies differ in how they build each slice of the component and the material each technology uses. Extrusion Technologies Polyjet 3D Printing. Impressão 3D de Metais. Muito se tem falado sobre a impressão 3D nos últimos meses devido a baixa de preços de máquinas promovendo acessibilidade à tecnologia a ponto de estar na mesa do seu escritório.
Porém essa impressão 3D que tanto se fala está utilizando materiais plásticos. Mas e os metais? Open Source 3d Printer Selective Laser Sintering Powder Chamber Design. Selective Laser Sintering Part 6. Hi folks, I thought I'd take a second to make a quick post about some of the interesting bits of the new open selective laser sintering printer that I've been designing in between finishing up my dissertation.
(I'm also looking for an interesting postdoc (or maybe the right industry job, if it's research oriented and challenging) -- if you're interested in learning more, please have a look at my graphical portfolio / academic CV. My background is pretty diverse, and I'm quite interested in branching into cognitive robotics, rapid prototyping, and potentially making these technologies a little "smarter", more accessible, inexpensive, or otherwise more capable. ) One of the overarching design goals of the project is accessibility -- it's very important to me that the design be easy to create, and very affordable. Infact, I keep a $200 high-mark in my head, with the goal of designing something that doesn't exceed that mark in terms of the parts cost.

By Jamie Pham, Project Illustrator In newspapers, on websites, and advertisements, we see every-day funny or interesting comics or animations that catch our attention. Here at the Virtual Curation Laboratory we want to do the same. As a comic illustrator I am continuing to find different ways to incorporate various artistic styles, like comics and digital animation, to tell the stories of our adventures and successes with virtual scanning. ERGON BIKE ERGONOMICS. Giant Bicycles begins 3D printing saddles. Nov.18, 2013 Today, 3D printing is very much helping the way bicycles are designed.
UK bike brand Charge Bikes has collaborated with EADS Innovation Works to produce world's first 3D printed frame manufacturing components using 3D printing. And Trek Bicycle has been using 3D printing to build prototypes of parts for long. Giant Bicycles begins 3D printing saddles. Fizik Antares Bicycle Saddle.
