Designer of Ford GT Supercar Wants to Design a 3D Printable Car for Local Motors - 3DPrint.com
Last year our readers and staff writers informally voted Local Motors’ 3D printed Strati car as the the top 3D printing story of the year. Local Motors has repeatedly held design challenges among their online community in order to come up with the designs for their past and future 3D printable vehicles. Although nothing has been announced or likely even discussed in detail, Forbes has reported that Camilo Pardo, the legendary automobile designer, credited as being the chief stylist behind one of my personal favorite sports cars, the 2005-06 Ford... Fishkin told us months ago that his company could offer a near infinite number of possible vehicle designs, as each vehicle can be customized and made-to-order. Imagine going online and choosing between hundreds or even thousands of possible 3D printable car models from some of the top automobile designers around the world, clicking order, and having a car ready for pick-up within days. Because Local Motors does’t need to stock thousands of vehicles for each model offered, like a typical car manufacturer would, and instead they can make each vehicle to order, there are no fixed costs associated.
