French cyclists use 3D printing handlebars at the Rio Olympics

The 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has been around for two days. If you are a 3D printing enthusiast, Xiaobian recommends that you pay attention to the performance of French cyclists. Because the seven French cyclists have their own custom-made 3D printed Jet One handles. This was jointly developed by the French Cycling Association, Erpro & Sprint and S2A.

Erril & Sprint CEO Cyril Vue commented on this: "The additive manufacturing technology will work with the French team in the 2016 Olympics. To support the cyclists, Erpro & Sprint has created seven full 3D printing handles."

It is understood that the structure of these handles provides a very high rigidity, while also greatly reducing the weight of the bicycle. On the track, these bikes have a top speed of about 80 km/h.

In fact, before the Olympics, a French athlete, Thomas Boudat, had the privilege of using this new handle in a match in Italy and won the championship! This victory will definitely bring more confidence to the French cyclists participating in the Olympic Games.

It is understood that the application of 3D printing technology in the field of bicycle racing has shown a rapid growth trend. For example, Dutch driver Tom Dumoulin cooperated with a group of researchers from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) to use 3D printing and scanning. Technology developed a custom-made suit for this year's Tour de France. In addition, the British player Bradley Wiggins, who has repeatedly updated his bicycle records in London, recently used 3D printed handlebars in the game. According to Marc Pajon, CEO of S2A, the project team combined aerospace and automotive processes in developing the handlebars. It was finally printed using Erpro&Sprint's 280 SLM 3D printer, which is based on selective laser melting technology.

The French team is looking forward to these Jet One handles to help their athletes win more in the Olympics. The project team expects that this handle will give athletes a few hundredth of an advantage in the game time.
