The parts for this car has been printed out on a 3D-printed, put together and can actually run. Meet Urbee.
Urbee is obviously not like the others. For its part has not been made in a factory, but has instead been printed from a "3D printer.
A 3D printer is not like your printer at home in the closet that just barely can transform a blank sheet of paper into a concrete document, but it's made to be able to print everything out across forms. We tried a printer to last year's Future Next exhibition in Aarhus, where we had printed our faces out of plaster. See how it happened here.
Urbee is equipped with all parts, printer spat out. Even the windshield has been printed by the company Stratasys and put together by the engineering company Corinthians Ecologic. It runs on a mixture of gasoline and ethanol, which would range to 84 kilometers to the liter.
And best of all is that it actually works and can run around. It will be exhibited in Las Vegas later this week.
If I had the opportunity, what would you print? Apparently, anything is possible with such a 3D printer so guy finally loose!
