More Comfortable Bike Saddles, Courtesy of 3D Printing
$450????? Do I need to explain what I expect a bike seat to do if it is going to cost almost as much as a new ebike? Yeah, yeah, something, something, professional cyclist, prosumer, whatever. There's probably a whole lot more hype than science behind the thing.
I believe the process is Carbon3D's EPU material.

Very cool stuff the way they can tune the density of the structure in different areas.
Also lots of potential for use with scanning technology to create a perfect fit for a customer in things like helmets, impact protection.
There is more information about their materials in the link above.
