Concept Bikes & Bike Innovation - for better or worse

Berrow - awesome. I have used 3D printing for prototyping and modelling but not for anything structural. Are your pedals structural? What printer and material are you using? I have heard interesting things about the next generation of nylon filament printers...

I agree with fade's views on design, and for what it's worth, I'm an industrial designer. It's worth remembering that a lot of 'design' projects on kickstarter are from graduates (and presumably those graduates who haven't been snapped up by larger companies) rather than established and experienced companies - the quality of projects is more variable than traditional commercial stuff.

IndraRipper, if you send me an imprint of your arse, I'll convert it into a 3d-printable data for you.

I still remember my lecturer, Nicki Theokritoff Called me a wanker on the first week, also drilled "Form follows function" into my head.
