Times change. And fast too. Our historical technology benefits from this. And certainly that part of our passion that still has to run for a living.
Parts for cars and motorbikes of classic 'competition' vehicles are still a source of further developments. And how original is that?
Oh well in their young days it was no different.
Only the calculation and drawing work is no longer done with a slide rule, but digitally. And to see if all that smart planning is working, the result is ... Simply 3D printed.
Via an improbable link from the industrial kitchen company, the Amstedamse Horecawerf, the purchase of a Moto Guzzi and a conversation with Paul Vermeulen we ended up at Yeana Solutions from Berkel and Rodenrijs, a company that specializes in high-quality technical products.
They do 'protoptyping' among other things. And that includes the 3D printing of parts ...
The superlative is the artwork by Jonathan Brand - www.jonathanbrand.com - who printed an entire CB 500
And just seeing and having such an 3D print is a party.
Let the future come
He has already started.
