Additive manufacturing used for customised mountain bikes

The Robot Bike Co. story started in the late 1990s when Ed Haythornwaite, now the company's CEO, met two other bike-mad students, Ben Farmer and Ben Arnold, at Bath University in the UK. "We spent far too much time riding bikes," says Haythornwaite. "When we weren't riding bikes, we were talking about bikes and how they could be made better than anything then on the market." In 2012, Farmer had the 'lightbulb' moment, when he came up with the basis for the novel design that Robot Bike Co. is now producing.
