Kevin Czinger, founder and CEO of Divergent Microfactories (DM), is speaking today at the O'Reilly Solid Conference in a keynote presentation entitled, "Dematerializing Auto Manufacturing." DM is unveiling a revolutionary approach to car manufacture, as evidenced by their supercar, the Blade. Using 3D printed aluminum 'nodes' in strategic manufacture reduces the pollution and environmental impacts of automotive production, as well as lowering the weight and materials in a car. The Blade, weighing in at just 1,400 pounds, can go from 0-60 MPH in only 2.2 seconds--and DM is planning to scale up production. They plan on making the technology available to others as well.
