Fancy taking a spin in a 3D-printed car?
Created by Arizona-based company Local Motors, the ‘Strati’ has been dubbed as the “world’s first 3D-printed car”. It took 44 hours to manufacture, and has 49 parts.
Most of the two-seater car’s parts, such as the chassis and body, are printed with “carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic”, save for mechanical components such as the battery, motors, and wiring.
The fully functional battery-powered car can also travel up to 50 miles per hour.
According to Mashable, you can buy the car next year at an estimated cost of $18,000.
Take a look at the Strati in the images below—for more updates, check out the vehicle’s project page.
