World’s First 3D-printed Car Actually Works

World's First 3D-printed Car Actually Works


Don’t want to go to the auto dealership to purchase a new car? 
Perhaps in the future we’ll just be able to select a design online and 
print our own. An engineering company out there has come up with 
the world’s first 3D-printed car, Urbee. The two-seater vehicle has 
all its body parts made from 3D printers, including the glass panels. 
The car obviously isn’t available for mass consumption just yet, but 
perhaps in the future it will be put on out on the production line and
 contribute to the environment too by including hybrid technology 
into the design. Currently this printed vehicle runs on gasoline and 
ethanol, getting up to 200 miles to the gallon. Looks pretty cool, 
and the line “I printed my own car this morning” never gets old.
