Strati-Cumulate

Here’s the Strati, the first car created by a 3D printer.

Well, except for the mechanical bits.  The parts that actually make it drive an’ stuff.  The parts that make it an actual car.  Those aren’t printed, those are manufactured elsewhere.

But still.  Pretty, no?

In the old days, people would buy a frame and engine, and then bring them to a coachmaker who would build a custom body to order.  This is like that, only faster and cheaper.

So soon we can all have custom cars.  How cool will that be?
