Working 3D printed cars

This I find mind boggling and amazing, the idea you can print a car that actually works.

  :o

In fact I didn't believe about 3D printing when someone first told me about it  ::)

It's when I admit to feeling old and behind the times  :o

It's an amazing thing IMO.

Maybe one day you will design the overall " look" of the car you want to drive plus decoration.  You could have a scooby doo flower power vw camper van  ;)

But a flowery Kalashnikov.

I'm with Rose on this, the limit of 3d Printing is pretty much our imagination, for good or bad

I agree, NS, I'm not knocking it. Like so much of what we discover or invent, it can serve us or slay us.

Next it's going to be a house, and solve the housing crisis.

Let's hope they can 3D print the extra land, then.
Pain, or damage, don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back. - Al Swearengen, Deadwood.

They'll probably use them on Mars, save taking the flat packs!  ;D
