Manufacturing of cycle rim by conventional methods needs more man power and many machine tools that increase the cost in developing countries such as India. Moreover, the secondary and tertiary operations associated with rim manufacturing pollute the environment. Assembly is another tedious process either by human beings or by machines. In order to overcome these difficulties an attempt is made in this work to design and develop a corrosion less bicycle rim using the additive manufacturing technique. Different models are developed and analyzed and the results are impressive.
