PRINTCYCLE: A SUSTAINABLE BICYCLE BUSINESS Benjamin Marquardt MCAD Master of Arts in Sustainable Design In support of M.A. Thesis Review 12-01-2017 Abstract printCYCLE is a design for a sustainable small business that provides transportation solutions. It is important, in a rapidly changing world faced with the prospect of major climate change, to make sustainability a priority. printCYCLE takes the advantages of 21st century 3D printing, additive manufacturing technologies to build bicycles for local communities that can be built to order, using sustainable methods and materials. The goal of printCYCLE is to create a system that can be herded toward a total closed-loop small business that is entirely sustainable and with only net-positive impact on the environment, community, culture and economy.
