Would you ride on a 3D Printed Car?

It may seem incredible, but at least one automobile has been produced with a 3D printer. You can see it in action in the video. It’s lacking some important features (such as decent suspension), but it goes pretty fast and looks pretty cool. I’d definitely drive one, wouldn’t you?

  1. No. I wouldn’t.

    The information on the Urbee is interesting, but there’s a lot of HYPE to it.

    In your other URBEE link, they state, “The Urbee 2 is a three-wheeled hybrid assembled entirely from parts spat out of 3D printers”

    However, pictures easily show that the chassis and suspension, tires, steering, motor, drivetrain, etc, are NOT “3D Printed.” They are made the old-fashioned way.

    I’d ride in the URBEE, but I would not ride in a totally 3D-Printed car. Not for another 10-15 years, at least!
