Sounds like you guys pushing the perpective of bike building to the next level. Very cool. In my point of view carbon frames are not stiffer overall. Compare to what? I would rather say you can build lighter OR stiffer than a AL frame. But both at the same time...well, difficult. The "only" big advantage of lets say plastic frames is the option of beautiful aero-designs and so on and I think thats mostly the main focus. So, iam impressed of your way of working and in particular your thoughs on recycling .
Interesting! what's the average price of a titanium 3d printed lug!? I know it can vary a lot, but just having a ball park number would be interesting! thanks!
No gravel / adventure road bikes? That's a shame. Titanium would make for an excellent material for modern gravel, road and touring bikes with Santana Z-couplers and all the other things that make titanium more suitable for travel than carbon.
laser welding in a sintered powder creates issues with porosity and complete weld as the powder tends to get blown out of the lazers path due to heat convection currents of air. Watch out for cracks.
I really hope titanium takes over carbon in the bike industry! It is frustrating to see the prices of a Ti bike, but it is understandable when you think of the price of the metal, how difficult it is to be processed and how durable it can be. Ti can take a beating as no other material. It will take direct hits that would bend steel until it compromises its structural integrity, that would simply crack a carbon frame or produce an internal crack on the aluminum structure of an alloy frame. Ti is the future, Ive always said it and always will, it is so sad we take such an influence from the automotive industry into one that really doesn't need carbon at all to make true superbikes
Lets make Titanuim the new carbon. MTB, Gravel, ciclocross, touring... all but TT bikes would be better on Ti than carbon. Well, maybe we should keep those flexible carbon handlebars and seatposts that give the bikes such a nice feel. But frames should be titanium, pedals and cranks too, as well as screws and stems
Awesome, I hope this starts to get his place on the MTB world, also the frame looks like a piece of art!
Thanks mate !
cant wait to see this bike using production components like fox or rockshox.
Sehr gut!
Weiter so!
Hochachtungsvoll!

Hey there we have a new Process called Cold Metal Fusion please check it out , and let us know what you think
I hope Ti beats carbon on a global market someday
You do awesome job ❤
Thank you
interesting video. what 3d printing equipment supplier y think has the most advanced technology?
there are several Processes for Metal 3d Printing / Should i do a Video to explain all of them ?
@@HolleisR that would be very interesting 😀
what fork is that holy shit
intend bc hover

Great job, compliments. Is it possible to have an offer for Ti bike you are talking about? Contacted few times directly the Company but no feedbacks?
Hey there ! We had issues with our email account! Everything solved now ! Did you get a answer jet? BR ralf
@@HolleisR hi Ralf, all ok, we are now on-line. Thx
