Local Motors Company has issued a challenge in response to its members expressed interest in having access to automobiles for which repairs were more accessible to their owners. Only a year after the release of their 3D printed car, the Strati, they are hoping to use this opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) in the creation of a highway-ready vehicle using large-scale 3D printing. The submissions will be reviewed by a panel of expert judges and three cash prizes will be awarded. Additional details on this challenge by Local Motors can be found at the following article: http://3dprint.com/69827/project-redacted-local-motors

Below are a few images of designs which have been submitted this far. $11,500 in cash prizes will be rewarded!
