Richard Swalberg, who prefers the design side of 3D printing to the actual manufacturing process, runs a shop on Shapeways showcasing his innovative -- and fun! -- designs. His 3D printed Rock Crawler is an especially attention-grabbing piece, bringing together 3D printing with the classic fun of a toy car. The impressive part of this design is that the fully functional, moving-parts car is 3D printed all in one piece. Based on Swalberg's love of Moab, in Utah, the Rock Crawler was inspired by buggies often seen in that off-road-friendly area, with off-road wheels, a springy suspension system, and an "aggressive" roll cage design.
