| 0:00.0 | I've done another crystal ball gazing of where things go. |
| 0:03.6 | And I thought, okay, so maybe |
| 0:08.3 | the future is 3D printing in metal. |
| 0:11.3 | And the reason for that is I realized that you can do with 3D printing a lot of shapes, |
| 0:18.3 | the complicated geometries that you cannot do with normal metal work techniques |
| 0:26.3 | like machining and forging and all that stuff. |
| 0:29.4 | You are listening to Service Course by the cycling podcast with Lizzie Banks and Tom Wally. |

| 1:16.4 | And there's all sorts of, you know, rules that you have to your bike has to fit within the jig at the start line. |
| 1:22.0 | But it's crazy to see with 3D printing just how far |
| 1:26.2 | they can push those limits. And there's a there's a rule that your elbow pads have to be, |
