Local Motors: World's First 3D Printed Road-ready Car Has Been Announced

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Phoenix-based Local Motors 3D printed their first Strati car last September, and has been going strong since, announcing the Project [Redacted] design challenge in June seeking input from their co-creation community for a road-ready 3D printed car design. A panel of judges reviewed more than 60 entries, and this morning the winners were announced, with Oregon-based Kevin Lo taking the Grand Prize for his design, a customizable vehicle called the Reload Redacted - Swim and Sport. The modular design includes both the 'Swim' and the 'Sport' body types, and both allow for customization and repair via snap modularity. For more details on the winning design as well as more of Local Motors' ambitious plans and timeline, read the full story at 3DPrint.com: http://3dprint.com/79342/local-motors-reload-3d-car/

Nice looking cars.

Alas these days my knees look at low slung sports cars and cry :-)
