Top 10 3D-Printed Cars - the Future of Auto Manufacturing

top 10 3d printed cars 3d printing is one of those disruptive technologies that might reshape our future it is cheap at assessed and environmentally friendly while NASA plans to use 3d printers along space missions auto manufactures intend to solve some more grounded tasks like speeding up car manufacturing process building durable and light bodies and decreasing the number of auto parts altogether take a glimpse at the world's first can 3d printed cars that will stay in the history books forever enjoy the ride blade from divergent 3d the success of this USA based company has been widely recognized by media and investors in the past few years if closing a 20 to a million dollars investment deal is any indication of achievement the blade is the first supercar in the world to be built by the use of a 3d printing technology this auto was built by the use of a patented mill technology went through the printed aluminum parts connect carbon fiber tubes to enhance durability of the chassis this means that the strong chassis of this supercar is 90 percent lighter than those of the rest of the supercars out there in September 2016 divergent has established a partnership with a big car manufacturer to show which marks the beginning of a new era of strong unions between auto and 3d printing companies and is still unknown - what example cooperation will develop and whether we will see 3d printer divergences of super cars being sold but the end of this decade light cocoon from heed AG the German engineering company edict is quite ambitious to say the least as it is that I'm changing the way cars are being built today like become is a follow-up to the genesis that was this company's first attempt to create a 3d printed auto body the outer shell of the cocoon is made of durable water-resistant ultra-thin fabric that is drawn over the 3d printed body made of polymer the outfit for this car was designed in cooperation with the famous German manufacturer of sport clothes jet Wolfskin the fabric weights mere 19 gram per every square metre the use of fabrics for the outer surfaces looks exotic but creators from edik are convinced that this approach will be a success automobiles of the future won't require an expensive paint booth and the minor body work will be simplified to replacing a piece of fabric also with introduction of self-healing polymer composites cracks and gaps on your car will be a problem of the past so made from a dag soulmate is the latest development from edict that was introduced in 2016 this car concept was designed in cooperation with the German company Bosch and resulted in the creation of incredibly beautiful lightweight car with features of connected mobility the outer shell of the soulmate reminds us about the earlier prototype of the company light cocoon the Czar's exoskeleton was built with the intensive use of 3d printer technologies in both chassis and body since our nature always tries to improve things for the highest efficiency the creators chose to use a web-like frame for increased structural integrity and additional lightness this frame is led by LED lights from the inside to highlight the Bionic shell and also communicate with the outside world Bosh's input in the concept was the extension of soulmates internet connectivity it will receive full access to online services and smartphone apps the infotainment system is implemented by the use of multiple touchscreen displays and interactive surfaces so we can easily conclude that edict has successfully turned a car into a light 3d printed smartphone Freddy from local motors this is the world's first 3d printed electric car Freddy was created as a partnership project between local motors and Oak Ridge National Lab it took 44 hours to print this car and it consists from roughly 227 layers and said two main parts which is much less in comparison to 6000 parts of traditional autos fully recyclable black ABS plastic reinforced with carbon fibers was used as the building material for strata and the only not printed parts are the motor battery powertrain tires and wheels thus lightweight 1,800 car is brought into motion by the permanent magnet electric motor that can accelerate the Roadster to the top speed of 40 miles per hour the company expects to actually launch the car into production someday with a price tag between 18 to 30 thousand dollars depending on the setup Alam 3d swim from local motors if anyone doubted Local Motors ambitions to deliver a commercial version of its first 3d printed car Stratos they were wrong LM 3d is a street-legal four-seater which force are 75% printed by the use of big area additive manufacturing technology this model is made from a blend of 80 percent recyclable ABS plastic and 20 percent carbon fiber however local motors are trying to test new compounds in order to create a viable manufacturing process to print 90% of a car almost all the body panels and even chassis were 3d printed but as before and probably for a long time ahead the powertrain and batteries are still made the conventional way the company's planning on establishing long term relations would suffer an electronics giant as ABM and Siemens to develop new ways of connecting monitoring and optimizing driving experience as of today this Auto is going through the last stage of testing and is available for purchase at $53,000 for true car enthusiasts and collectors lowers 340 are many cars with low production numbers which were sold prior to 2002 are in great demand for spare parts since prior to that year through the solid modeling software hadn't been used but companies like the ideas is using 3d scanning and printing technologies to give new life to limited-edition artists like 1999 Lotus 340 are more than 40 components were produced for this four-wheeler that came out in a very small volume of 240 and ultra precise blue light LED scanner and stop from geometric capture were used to capture complex design points of this Lotus and then transition models to the printer altogether it took 15 to 20 scans among those 60 percent 3d printed parts where front hood rear decklid rear wing and fenders laser stereo lithography selective laser centering and fused deposition modeling technologies were used in combination to create the scar from ABS plastic and Dewar form GF material hopefully with companies like the ideas and development of 3d printing the rare old cars will always have a chance for the Second Life men yang venture AIDS this is a four-wheel concept electric micro car that was designed for a competition sponsored by shell corporation eco-marathon and 2015 students from college of engineering from Nanyang Technological University we're determined to demonstrate the feasibility of use of the emerging 3d printing technology and making such large objects as cars the unique feature adventure 8 is that it has a specially designed chassis that could accommodate the upper body or cabin that is customized for the needs of an individual customer the idea is that in the future people will be able to create their own designs of ABS plastic car bodies from various templates that could be done 2d printed and mounted on the strong carbon fiber chassis and the car will reflect the personality of its owner man yang venture 8 is powered by an electric motor that is choose by listing ion batteries which could be recharged to some extent by solar panels located on the roof if University students were able to build this car in three months imagine what prospects are out there for the future through the printed electric cars Irby two core ecologic as the company is enthusiasts - funded their project of the greenest automobile in the world through Kickstarter the engineers are especially worried about the condition of our environment and the fact that the number of cars will increase to 2.5 billion by the year 2050 and if the number of emissions doesn't go down it will inevitably cause a global catastrophe their automobile rb2 is a hybrid that weights 1,100 pounds it is brought into motion by powertrain that consists of two electric motors with 16 horsepower each and one cylinder of combustion engine the transom biofuel the max speed of this car is 70 mph and it can cope with 40 miles range on pure electric charge 60% of exterior and interior parts of Irby were 3d printed and it's incredible design gives the car outstanding aerodynamic resistant coefficient of 0.149 Honda micro computer this tiny car was presented by honda in 2016 and it's the first 3d printed model from this manufacturer it has the name micro commuter and it was produced for two Shyama a japanese company that makes cookies and actually plans to put the car to use Honda cooperated for the 3d printing startup kodoku Inc and the total development process took about two months the only non 3d printed parts of this electric vehicle where the chassis and the powertrain the Honda motorcycles division participated in the creation of a frame so underneath those 3d printed panels Micro has pipes that give it lightweight yet strong structure a large battery that is built into the floor of this vehicle allows up to 50 miles range and also there is a possibility to install to extend next to the driver's seat that will each allow ten extra miles of driving this fully operational automobile looks are delivering cookies from to Fiamma in the nearest future Shelby Cobra to this iconic for the history of the American automobile industry car was built by the US Department of Energy to demonstrate the ability of efficient modern 3d printing technologies and popularized low emission driving Shelby Cobra's is a classic sports car that was manufactured 50 years ago but it received a new 3d printed body that was built by the use of big area additive manufacturing machine from Cincinnati Inc overall it took 24 hours to print all the necessary parts made from 80% ABS plastic and 20% carbon fiber mix and such printing speed is 500 to 1,000 times faster than a regular desktop 3d printer this automobile was equipped with a new hybrid powertrain that consists of an electric motor batteries and fuel cells with a weight of 1,900 pounds this two seater a 75 percent 3d printed and it currently serves as the ambassador of this technology around the US by traveling to different exhibitions and of course a little bonus outies 1938 Grand Prix howdy is also not okay with falling behind on implementing the 3d printing technology their first attempt was the creation of half scale 1938 Grand Prix sports car by the use of selective laser sintering technology since this attempt was a success maybe someday upcoming outies will have 3d printed metal bodies but Ali Ali is an all-electric autonomous bus that has the body that is 70% 2d printed most of its parts are fully recyclable and could be made within 10 hours total it can carry 12 passengers and by the use of IBM Watson's cognitive learning platform called Watson Internet of Things for automotive it is one of the smartest autonomous bosses and the world that is already being tested on the roads of Las Vegas thanks for sticking around till the end if you like this video feel free to check out our previous releases click the subscribe button and ring that
