Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...

In this video I'll show you how I treated my rc car, and how I designed and printed a new 3D part for it. The car is a zd Racing Thunder, it's a cool car but if you push it to the limit be prepared to ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In 2021, NASCAR unveiled its Next Gen platform that included a ...

Kurtis Wilde, parts manager at Murray Honda in Chilliwack, British Columbia, envisions the day dealerships use 3D printers to fabricate their own parts — small, plastic, non-safety-related ones within ...

Additive manufacturing, the engineer's version of what everyone else calls 3D printing, is too slow and too expensive to mass-produce car parts, but the calculus flips for an ultra-low-volume car like ...

The 3D-printed motor matched or outperformed comparable motors made with conventional manufacturing — and only cost 50 cents ...

MIT researchers have devised new tech that can 3D print entire complex machines with moving parts in a matter of hours.

VW has been working with HP and Siemens to scale up 3D metal printing processes to make car parts. Metallic 3D-printed parts weigh half as much as those produced from sheet steel, allowing the ...

When you want to fabricate something you either start with something and take away what you don’t want — subtractive manufacturing — or you start with nothing and add material, which is additive ...

We doubt you’ll be driving a Bugatti Bolide anytime soon. It’s a bit of a showy concept car, and it really is pushing some limits on what you can 3D print in an automobile. As you can imagine, they ...
