Abstract
The development of additive manufactured metals is in the transition phase, from research into the technology of 3D printing and the resulting properties of the metals towards their use in industrial practice. The article analyses the possibilities of producing bicycle frames using 3D printing. The stresses in a bicycle frame are analysed for the measured load spectra and FEM simulation. The approach to the fatigue life assessment of the bicycle frame is based on directly measured load multipliers and detailed FEM simulation with the subsequent calculation of fatigue damage in the individual planes of the critical point of the frame respecting the multiaxial stress state. The scatter of the cyclic properties of the AM material is considered by a statistical approach. The operational fatigue lifetimes of a frame made by 3D printing and one of conventional technology are compared.
