While we're on the subject of printing lugs and dropouts, here's a few more examples... Tom Sturdy uses AM lugs to optimise build time.
Plain cut tubes TIG welded to printed titanium lugs is a good effort at DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) the process is repeatable and can be scaled and easily automated/controlled.
Mass customisation at £4500 for a titanium frame.
That's super interesting, I wonder how much the price is able to come down as things get cheaper. It's a bit rough and ready looking considering what £4.5k would get you from other builders tho!
