Local Motors recently announced the Strati, the world's first automobile to be 3D-printed.
Unlike a conventional car that uses around 2,000 parts, the Strati will boast just over 40. A specially trained staff will assemble the various printed parts, which are made of carbon fibre and plastic, in an estimated time of 44 hours.
We're not talking about a scale model, here, but rather an actual car with seating for two. An electric drive system borrowed from the Renault Twizy will provide motivation.
While the Strati is still a prototype, Local Motors hopes to bring it to market within the next few months.
Pricing and global availability have yet to be determined.
