re: World's First 3D Printed Car

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.
