In recent 3D-printed bike news. Sunweb Team are going to have DSM as main sponsors for next year which reminded me of these arm-rests printed by DSM for Sunweb in this years tour.

It does not look like these are rider specific items, as far as I can see they used AM because of the range of technical polymers available, the ability to create multiple iterations quickly for testing and the fact that designs can be quickly and easily modified to suit different bars.
Whether having DSM as main team sponsor will result in more pro-peleton AM remains to be seen.. Last I saw DSM had sold off their AM business
