    3D Printable Car and Motorcycle Cncepts Unveiled by Design Student

    We've seen ideas of 3D printed vehicles before, like those from Arizona-based Local Motors. Now, Italian design student András Bódy has created a thesis dissertation for his Master of Arts in Design at Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti Milano in Italy, based on two intriguing conceptual vehicle designs. Both based on the skull of a wolf, the Jenifer 1 and Arthur 1 are a concept car and motorcycle, respectively, that are designed to be 3D printed. The Jenifer 1 and Arthur 1 are both designed to be made of carbon-based composite -- with a fully printed frame -- and an electric drive train and sustainable materials for the interior. Bódy has drawn together not just the designs, but a full business plan and implementable plans for them in his dissertation. For more details on the not-yet-published dissertation idea, check out the full article: http://3dprint.com/38138/jenifer-arthur-3d-printed-car/


    Below is a look at the wolf skull-inspired concept designs:

    As a rider of all kinds of bikes, that concept is awful in so many ways. Yeah I get it, it's a concept by a design student and not an engineered production piece but even so. Besides being ugly the rake in that front end would make the ride HORRIBLE not to mention the turning radius would be worse than a semi.

    The car looks good from the side, but the looks of it from the front back and top are too alien to really be enjoyable.
    The bike at first looks like a traditional lowrider, but then the little details add up like Soofle said, it wouldn't be comfortable at all.

    I hope wolf did not suffer during his thesis dissertation research?
    I do not like when people use animals for their experiments.
