Local Motors develops a 3D-Printed Car
Could 3D-Printed Cars be the things of the future?
Introducing LM3D. The 3D-printed car series from Local Motors. Local Motors, an Arizona-based company, has created the first 3D printed car to hit the highways and be available for purchase. For a select group of people who were able to place a deposit on a crowdfunding campaign, the debut of the LM3D will be in the later half of 2016.

"Roughly 75% of the LM3D is printed. Our goal is to consolidate as much of the traditional bill of materials into a single, 3D-printed piece as possible, eventually making about 90% of the car using 3D-printing. Nearly all of the body panels and chassis are 3D printed on the LM3D." (Source: Local Motors)
Print and assembly of Local Motors 3D-Printed car took just over two months from design to prototype.
