EADS, the European aerospace and defense group showed off their "Airbike", made out of nylon but strong enough to replace steel and requires no traditional maintenance or assembly. They created it using a process know as Additive Layer Manufacturing or ADL where they take a fine metal powder or carbon reinforced plastics. It was mostly just a demo for the technology that will be used in the aerospace industry.
Sorta neat but a little lean on content so i'll just link the article and shut-up.
