Their printer isn't very advanced. Other companies who hold better patents can print with much better detail, and in metals. Their build box is too small for a bigger car as well. Voxeljet prints parts for Formula One teams. They can go from raw design to finished product in 5 days.
Think about the manufacturing applications. Instead of several machines making numerous parts, a foundry, etc., you have one machine that can print any part.

They basically printed a less durable go-cart. If I was going to spend the money and invest in building cars I would have upgraded everything and reached out to many more people for advice. They have to redo everything if they want to build a commercial grade vehicle. If they knew they had the technology to build it why settle for that.
I'm not that impressed. They just replicated something that was created with in the 1800's just a different build process and material.
