3D Printable Internet of Things Bike

The Internet of Things has penetrated into all walks of life. This time, even bicycles have not let go. Recently, a company in Tokyo, Cerevo, launched a networked road bike Orbitrec, which uses a customizable 3D printed titanium frame, making the entire vehicle light and strong enough. The 9-axis sensor is internally matched with the mobile phone APP client to track vital information such as rider temperature changes and road conditions, and even issue an accident alert.

Cerevo (meaning Consumer Electronic REVOlution, Consumer Electronics**) is located in Tokyo's famous Akihabara Electronic Zone. The company's main business is to develop unique networked Internet or Internet of Things products for consumers and professional users. Their XON series is a "smart sports product" that uses products that can be connected to mobile phones or the cloud to add valuable and interesting sports experiences to consumers. As the latest product of the XON series, this Orbitrec 3D printed bicycle is equipped with a large number of high-tech plug-ins to enhance the user's cycling experience, whether it is for competitions, sports exercises or just commuting to work.

It is said that Orbitrec's framework is made of sintered technology 3D printed titanium components bridge high-quality carbon fiber tubes, and NTT Data Engineering Systems provides corresponding 3D printing technology. This design ensures that the parts can be mass-produced on the basis of ensuring sufficient strength, and that they are lightweight and attractive in appearance. In addition, each Orbitrec framework can be customized, and 3D prints different sizes to perfectly match each user's needs.

In addition to high-strength, light-weight 3D printed parts, the 9-axis built-in sensor on the Orbitrec frame can sense acceleration, angular velocity, and geomagnetism. In addition, the car is equipped with sensors that sense temperature, humidity, atmosphere and light. , And GPS and so on. Orbitrec 3D printed bikes can collect data from these sensors and analyze it on the cloud computing platform, creating a detailed ride log for the cyclist, making the ride experience more enjoyable and safer.

With Bluetooth and ANT+ connections, this data can be used by other devices and services. For example, the light sensor can automatically turn on the lights when entering a tunnel; when a bumpy road is detected, the information can be uploaded to the cloud through an app or ** to remind other drivers of changes in road conditions. Moreover, in the event of a bicycle accident, related sensors can automatically trigger an emergency message and send it to a friend.
