3D Printing Materials for the Bike Industry
For many cyclists, their bike is much more than a means of getting from A to B – it’s an integral element of their daily lives.
Discover how our Forward AM materials can support your next bike project.
Light & Reliable Companon - Computer Mount
Striving for improved performance, Canyon, a market-leading bike manufacturer based in Koblenz, Germany turned to Additive Manufacturing for redesigning the part from scratch. Forward AM’s Virtual Engineering experts and printing service provider Sculpteo developed the new optimal design to provide excellent readability of the bike computer under all road conditions with the vibration being as low as possible.

Customized, Durable and long-lasting Bike Frames
Huhn Cycle has teamed up with Forward AM to create frame components supporting the high-durability, longevity and accuracy. 3D Printing with metal filaments was chosen due to the straightforward process of production and post-processing, reducing the time needed for frame building at low cost while fitting the standard stainless steel bicycle tubing.
Maximizing Rider Comfort with fully customized saddles
For decades saddle manufacturers have relied on foam, but foam has hit a plateau in structural and design possibilities, especially when it comes to adopting to personal requirements. Additive Manufacturing is able to solve this challenge by allowing more complex and intricate design tailored to riding style or body shapes to create unique riding experiences.

“Forward AM’s Virtual Engineering expertise and deep material knowledge enabled us to realize the lightest, fully functional computer mount in our portfolio. We exploited the full potential of 3D Printing to quickly iterate innovations and adapt the design of the mount to our exact needs.”
“We managed to break the mold of assembly-line production of saddles by taking full advantage of industrial 3D printing. We are driven by positive feedback from our customers who appreciate comfort and welcome the possibility of finally having a fully customized saddle."
“The promise of 3D-printing saddles from the start was actual individual customization for each rider, but that never really materialized, until Posedla and their Joyseat. I´m really excited about their customization process.”
