Ladies and gentlemen, the waiting is over!
I proudly present the first bike that I am going to build here:
The concept is that you have printed connection parts that can be customized via the customizer, so that you can take any kind of tubing that you have or that you want to use like carbon fiber (xt-cf20), bamboo or metal tubes.
So what do you think about this concept?
To get in touch and get a first impression about our customers I would appreciate if you take 2 minutes to answer this short survey concerning my project.
Kind regards,
Ines
HI!
I am Stephan Schürmann, I am inventor, designer, creative engineer, CAD-constructor and a passionately craftsman.
3D printing is what makes my ideas come to life!
During my bachelor thesis I am going to use colorFabb’s new XT-CF20 for making an extraordinary project: 3D print a bicycle frame!
Cool, right 
yes. So I want to make this as an open project. Everybody can participate and take part of the design process.
Just leave a comment and tell us your ideas! I will try to implement what’s possible and keep you up-to date with a weekly blog-post on this site.
So, I hope to have a lot of fun with you guys out there,
Cheers!
Stephan
My name is Ines Cebulla. I‘m 23 years old and was born in germany. I‘m an open minded person who is interested in new experiences with technology and design. Currently I‘m studying Industrial Product Design at Fontys Hoogeschool Venlo and will most likely graduate next summer with the Bachelor of Engeneering. For my Bachelor‘s Thesis I‘m working on a five months internship at Colorfabb.
Colorfabb has the possibility to print bronze-, copper- and brassfilaments and give it a professional polish finish. My assignment is to test the possiblities of these materials. We want to print busts, works of art and other products for our clients with this method. Therefore we need to know which products are printable and how it is possible to scan people and products in the best way. What are you interested in and do you already have experiences with 3D scanning? All this I want to know to elaborate a concept for a printshop which makes your scans a product. I would appreciate to get your feedback and support.
ColorFabb XT CF20 is a copolyester based carbon fiber composite material that is based on the unique Amphora 3D polymer from Eastman Chemical and is loaded with no less than 20% specially sourced carbon fibers suitable for 3D Printing.
Our first special filament based on the Amphora 3D polymer. Reinforced with 20% specially sourced carbon fibers, this filament is perfect for parts which need high stiffness. XT-CF20 has a beautiful matte surface finish when printed.
At the Birmingham TCT Show we talked to Steve Cox, Education Ambassador CREATE Education – Ultimaker (GB). He was showing some of his great 3D printing projects and sharing great tips&tricks. This week however a very special project by Steve, commissioned by Fuel3D, was presented at the CES2015.
After a lot of hours testing and experimenting with the Mass Portal Delta it’s time to have some fun with it too.

We’re always on the look out for amazing DIY projects that relate to 3D printing. Just the other day a new tri-copter design was posted on Flitetest.com by rocketman1092 which really caught my eyes. Then moments later it also appeared on thingiverse, so naturally we had to start making this right away.
