In un'intervista, Marco Mattia ha raccontato come è nata l’idea di progettare la prima ruota per bicicletta non gonfiata con aria compressa:
“Ho visto che molte grandi aziende stanno puntando sui pneumatici senza camera d’aria, per ogni tipo di veicolo. Nessuno, però, aveva provato a stamparne una in 3D, che fosse funzionale per una bicicletta. Ho ricercato parecchio, ho modellato e stampato molti piccoli modellini, per riuscire ad avere lo stesso comportamento di una normale gomma ad aria compressa per biciclette. Poi ci sono riuscito. Appena la stampa era pronta, l’ho installata su una bicicletta di un collega e ho provato a pedalare. In seguito, il mio capo dipartimento mi ha chiamato e mi ha chiesto se avevo intenzione di tornare nel suo studio di design”.
In 2018, the young inventor ascolano was the "project leader" of the first tubeless bicycle wheel produced with a "3D printer" and also completed the first prototype of an electric motorbike, always made with a "3D printer" ".
In an interview, Marco Mattia recounted how the idea of designing the first non-inflated bicycle wheel with compressed air was born:
"I have seen that many large companies are betting on tubeless tires for every type of vehicle. Nobody, however, had tried to print one in 3D, which was functional for a bicycle. I researched a lot, I modeled and printed many small models, to be able to have the same behavior of a normal compressed air tire for bicycles. Then I succeeded. As soon as the press was ready, I installed it on a colleague's bike and tried to pedal. Later, my department head called me and asked if I was going back to his design studio. "
