In 2014, Dr. James Novak made the first full-size bicycle frame that was made from a single 3D-printed piece. It went on to win the Dick Aubin Distinguished Paper award at RAPID 2015 and was shown around the world for several years, including at the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen, Germany, and the BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, Germany, with Materialise. The bike is now available as a non-fungible token (NFT), which is another first in the world.
