- This drivable car was 3D printed in 44 hours.

- The video shows no info as the only purpose of this vehicle is to get into history books.
The way the vehicle is being printed is not structurally sound and it constantly wants to break itself in half. The plastic that has to be used through the extruder can't withstand prolonged bouts of extreme AZ heat.
It's not meant for the general public to buy, at least right now, because it shatters in crash tests. Besides, it would be far too expensive after all the man hours and specialty parts to buy. If you tried it, you'd first need to buy the really big, really expensive, still not perfect, 3D printer.
Rich people that go to LM all the time might be able to afford it but it'll take a long time to make sure it stays together although I doubt it will be safe.
- Jeremy Rifkin: „2050 hat der Kapitalismus ausgedient“

Ökonom und Zukunftsforscher Jeremy Rifkin hat auf der CeBIT erklärt, wie die Digitalisierung unsere gesamte Wirtschaftsordnung verändert.

Für Rifkin ist klar: Die durch die Digitalisierung möglich gewordene Demokratisierung der Produktionsprozesse ist nicht mehr aufzuhalten. Sie ist der Weg in die Zukunft. Entweder man geht mit oder man bleibt auf der Strecke. Für Automobilkonzerne heißt das zum Beispiel, dass sie in Zukunft kaum noch Autos herstellen werden. Nicht nur brauchen wir weniger davon – Carsharing sei dank –, sie lassen sich bald auch viel kostengünstiger im 3D-Drucker produzieren, wie mit Local Motors schon die erste Firma vorgeführt hat.

- Oh you know just a 3D printed car. 
- How well will it absorb a front or rear-end collision?

- Say hello to the worlds first 3D printed car by +Local Motors
The video is a must watch! 
- Wow!!
- See the world's first 3D-printed car being made. Amazing stuff from +localmotors.

Called the 'Strati' which means layers, it has 49 printed parts, took 44 hours to be assembled and goes up to 40 mph. Would you drive one?

And whilst we're on cars, don't forget to tell us which car you'd be embarrassed to drive in this month's champagne prize draw: http://s.heyo.com/ccbb21.

Entries close tomorrow at 9.00am and a half-case of champagne up for grabs!
