Purpose:
The intentions of a 3D printed vehicle is to improve the production of cars and other vehicles. The 3D printed vehicles are supposedly more sustainable than the current cars, and changing the process to revolutionize car making. The cars are produced using the 'Node' technique, which involves printing aluminum nodes combined with printed carbon fire. Using this process reduces the waste created by making cars as the company is using less materials, and the vehicles produced are lighter in weight than a typical car or motorcycle.
Future of 3D Printed Cars:
Future cars printed by Divergent will not be 'super cars' like the Blade, which can go from 0-60 mph in 2.2 seconds, but the concept that has been tested by this company is incredible. Divergent has proved that there is a way to make better, faster, lighter cars that are better for the environment. Once the company is able to sell these cars to the public, everyone will want to own a 3D printed vehicle.
