According to the British "Daily Mail" report, the world's first 3D printing car finally came out. The car has only 40 parts and it took 44 hours to build it, with a minimum price of 11,000 pounds (about 110,000 yuan).
Only 40 parts The electric car was named "Strati" (below), which was manufactured by 3D printing technology from "Local Auto Company" in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. At the 6-day International Manufacturing Technology Exhibition in 2014, “Strati” finally unveiled its mystery.
According to reports, the black body and chassis of this electric car are completely made by 3D printer, and the material is carbon fiber reinforced plastic. But tires, seats, steering wheels, batteries, wires, suspensions, electric motors, and shielding windows are all manufactured in a conventional manner. John Rogers, CEO of the company, said: "We are the first company in the world to manufacture cars using carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics using 3D printing technology. Seats, body, chassis, center console, hood, etc. are all 3D printed. ."
At the International Manufacturing Technology Exhibition, employees of "Local Auto Company" assembled the electric vehicle on the spot using 3D printed parts. It has only 40 parts, and more than 20,000 traditional auto parts. Rogers said: "Our goal is to make a car with less than 20 parts in a completely different way."
A total of 44 hours of printing According to the company, it took 44 hours to print all the parts with a 3D printer. Rogers said: "The 3D printer only takes less than 40 hours to print out the chassis and body. The staff will then use 4 days to assemble. In the next few months, we will continue. Committed to reducing the time-consuming 3D printing body, and strive to do less than 20 hours. We are sure that the entire vehicle will be printed and installed in less than an hour in the future." He said that one day they want to achieve this The model, that is, the consumer who buys the car can wait in the side and pay attention to seeing that the car they purchased is quickly assembled.
According to reports, the "Strati" has a top speed of 56 kilometers per hour, and can travel up to 193 kilometers to 243 kilometers on a single charge, and can carry two passengers. The company hopes to sell 3D printed cars for between £11,000 and £18,000 (approximately RMB110,000 to $180,000), depending on the model and function chosen by the buyer. Previously, the company had used similar methods to make motorcycles, electric skateboards and other vehicles. Rogers hopes that this less expensive manufacturing process will accelerate innovation in the automotive industry.
