At the 2026 Shanghai International Automotive Manufacturing Technology, Equipment and Materials Exhibition (AMTS), Hanbang Laser showcased a sample metal 3D-printed integrally formed bicycle frame. The frame leverages topology optimization and bionic structures for lightweight design, optimizing material layout based on real load transfer paths. While maintaining structural mechanical performance, it achieves a 20% weight reduction compared to traditional solutions. The metal 3D printing process enables smooth curved transitions, eliminating local stress concentrations typical of right-angle frames and fundamentally reducing fatigue failure risks. It also eliminates multi-part assembly and welding steps, enhancing structural continuity and overall stiffness. The frame was printed using Hanbang Laser's HBD E800 system, which features a large build volume of 830mm × 830mm × 1250mm, meeting the manufacturing needs of large, complex metal structural parts. This technology is suitable for the development and validation of large-size components in automotive, aerospace, energy equipment, and other industries.
