Printing An Electric Car

Developing physical products takes Time, Money, and Waste,
. . . in the prototyping stage.

Rapid prototyping using 3D printers can help form ideas into real products,
. . . or help developers understand design flaws in the physical prototype.

The Israeli 3D printing company Stratasys,
. . . has developed a large 3D printer called the,
. . . Objet1000 3D Production System and
. . . it's big enough to 3D print a German electric car called the StreetScooter.

When produced the city car will have a:
. . . Top speed of 60 mph,
. . . Range of 80 miles, and
. . . Weigh about 1000 lbs (excluding battery).

“These cars can be developed from scratch and
. . . ready in a matter of months, not years,
. . . as with traditional automotive production processes.
The StreetScooter project has demonstrated to us,
. .. how a whole new approach to car design and manufacturing is possible.”
