It Took Them Two Days To 3D PRINT This (Drivable) Car

3D printers are arguably the most innovative inventions in the past couple years, and while people have made moulds of their heads and miniature novelties, Local Motors in Chicago has printed a car.

It took the team only 44 hours to print the chassis, seats, door panels, and thousands of other components, which were assembled to create a working vehicle.

“A 3D printed car like ours will only have dozens of components,” Local Motors engineer James Earle told Business Insider.

“You can make a vehicle for yourself that’s basically a one-0ff, do the entire design. You could create custom-fit seats that conform to your shape, things like that, that you couldn’t do with cars now.”

Whilst it is a great idea to print your own car, we reckon until it has done all the safety tests and more, rather go for a MINI. They are Freekin AWESOME! Check out their deals here:
