The futuristic dreams are now about to come true! Now it's real to design and make you own unique car and it even is the super-speedy process, tooo – it can take just two days to do this! How is that possible? -you can ask.
It is now!
An Arizona-based car manufacturer has created the world’s first fully functional, 3D-printed electric car. World’s first-3D printed ‘Strati’ vehicle that costs $17,100 was invented and tested in real life. The printing took place during the six-day International Manufacturing Technology Show 2014 in Chicago last month. The battery-powered, two-passenger car is made of layers of black plastic and reinforced with carbon fibre.
Strati, which stands for Italian word 'layers', has a chassis body made of one solid piece. The vehicle it can produce is is made out of just 49 parts, while a typical car consists of 5,000 parts, which, you cannot argue, is significantly more.
The printer makes parts measuring 1 metre by 1.7 metres by 3 metres. Tyres, battery and suspension were made using traditional methods.
The produced car's top speed can reach 40mph (64 km/h) and is set to cost $17,100. In the future, when your car breaks down or you want an upgrade, you’ll be able to print a new one in less than two days and you're ready to go!
