 How does EMC2 build bicycles?

 John


Easy, just write G-code to mill a mold, apply carbon cloth and epoxy resin
in the mold, inser a tube (a bike's inner tube) and bolt the mold together.
Then apply pressure to the inner tube and let the epoxy harden.

This is how I make bikes. Until now the molds have been created by hand from
plugs (a model) created by another company (or hand made ones).
In a few weeks I'll start making my own plug and molds using EMC2 to build a
new bike that will be used for record attempts.
