California - A company United States (US) succeeded in making the first motorcycle using a 3D printer. The motors are manufactured by TE Connectivity was unveiled and exhibited in Long Beach, California, USA.



Motorbikewriter launch on Thursday (06/04/2015), Harley-Davidson motorcycle style requires only the tires, brakes, some cables, bateral, mirrors, side standard, bolts, as well as the original electric motor. Beyond that, all parts of the motor is made with a 3D printer.

Although the printer output, this motor can withstand the total weight of up to 181 Kg. Because it is a pioneer, not surprisingly this motor only has an engine with a power of no more than 1 Tk as well as a maximum speed below 24 km/h.

TE Connectivity claims took 1.000 hours to design and print the motor at a cost of approximately US$ 25 thousand. This amount may be reduced if the manufacturer has a more adequate technology.

For additional information, how the printer is actually similar to a conventional printer that prints objects by layer. The difference, a 3D printer does not use ink, but plastic or other material, even to the metal.

In the automotive world, a 3D printer ever used a few times, for example to make an electric car prototype future cars, to small-scale Toyota powertrain. (Liputan6.com)
