This is freaking cool. I've seen some usable wrenches and other tools made with a 3D printer but never the whole chassis/shell of a race car. It looks to be similar to a SCCA Fmod or FSAE car.

Sick idea! Wonder how it compares, strength wise, or if they're using it solely for the body and using a standard tube-frame chassis for the structural components of the car?

 

Soon you'll be able to print out hookers and cocaine!!! It'll be easy to 'Live like Sheen' then.

 

Awesome. Reminds me of FSAE.

 

Is this a monocoque or just a tube chassis with the body panels printed out? If it's the latter, that's really not that impressive. The biggest limitation would be the strength of the materials used to form the body. If it's just cosmetic/aero panels, it's not a big deal, but a monocoque needs to be very stiff.

 

WOW thats pretty amazing!
