3d printed cars have been seeing significantly more attention ever since the crowdsourced automobile design and manufacturer Local Motors unveiled their Strati 3d printed car,

It also holds the promise of making large-scale car manufacturing affordable for small teams of innovators.
Wee developed a sustainable path forward for the car industry that we believe will result in a renaissance in car manufacturing, with innovative,

a 3d printed aluminum joint that connects pieces of carbon fiber tubing to make up the car chassis. Among other problems solved by the Node include cutting down on the amount of 3d printing required to build the chassis as well as the time to assemble the car components
Additionally, the reduction of materials and energy usage helps bring the weight of the car down as much as 90%compared to traditional cars,
"Nodes are the key building block we developed to build cars. They are made of a metal alloy
"The nodes, combined with carbon fiber tubes are the key components in building a car chassis. It took less than 30 minutes to assemble the chassis by hand.
the prototype is one of the greenest and most powerful cars in the world. As for power, the Blade is equipped with a 700-horsepower bi-fuel engine that can use both compressed natural gas or gasoline,
While the ability to create their own cars using their technology is one thing, Divergent Microfactories plans on releasing the platform into the hands of entrepreneurs
and small businesses around the world in an effort to help them set up their own microfactories to build their own cars and complex structures.
