The Honda Monkey is already a whim bike by itself: with its small size and being a single-seater it is not that it is very logical -even though its size makes it very manageable- but, being really attractive, nobody would mind having one in your garage ... The German 3D printing company, Viba, has made its own version of the Monkey in 3D printing, creating all the aesthetic elements on a computer and then printing them on its industrial printers. Yann Bakonyi, the founder of VIBA, said: “At trade fairs we see a lot of 3D printed things, but they are generally only made for display and not functional. This project was to demonstrate that 3D printing can be integrated into an industrial process and that it works perfectly. ” On whether the result improves the original Monkey ... well, rather not, although for tastes, colors ... On why VIBA chose the Honda and not another, Bakonyi said: “Everyone knows the Monkey. We decided to reinvent it because, every time we are building a project at VIBA, we care about telling a story. We wanted to relive the childhood memories of their owners. " Well, if they say so ... One final detail: the Viba Monkey costs around € 30,000.
