@@ArthurD No additive manufacturing was not invented to be cheaper than traditional methods. In some cases cost savings are possible if production volumes are low or part complexity is high.
If you mean structural integrity, then yes they hold up to the static loads and low-cycle fatigue just fine. High-cycle fatigue is perhaps more challenging due to inherent porosity and surface roughness.
Great video! I need to check out your other videos now. Thanks for creating this and sharing

Hi Great video, thanks! can you tell me which alloy was used in the last example - and how much it cost to print all metals parts?
It was Type 316L stainless steel. Prices vary a lot depending on build volume, but lugs would be around 1500€ nowadays.
@@Ideas2cycles holy crap that's expensive. Isn't additive manufacturing was invented to avoid such prices, to make it cheaper?

Did the direct printed lugs were stable enough for riding?
