Ford Motor Company, working with a massive, room-sized 3D printer from Stratasys, is experimenting with large-scale printed plastic parts that are lighter than their cast-metal counterparts. The ...

As 3D printing technologies advance, so in turn could part design, trading weight for strength.

Ford has announced it has already begun testing large scale 3D printing. The plan is to make some car parts this way, and allow new personalization options ...

But just as computer-aided design rewrote automotive engineering in the 1980s, 3D printing is looking to revolutionize the replacement-parts business, allowing car owners to create precise copies ...

We’ve featured large scale 3D printers in the past, but none are quite as big the University of Maine’s building-sized 3D printer that can print a motorboat in one piece.

Topline From aerospace and medical purposes to fashion and automotive innovations, there are nearly limitless possibilities of 3D printing for prototyping, manufacturing and customization.

3D Printing Changes Everything 3D printing started out, like most technologies, small-scale and expensive, but the process has become an increasingly important tool for hot rod building.

Additive manufacturing, or "3D printing," is commonly used for prototyping, as the machines can create parts without the expensive tooling process or the need for skilled machining. Automakers use ...

A future where lightweight car parts can be made with a 3D printer is here, thanks to multi-material additive manufacturing research.

3D printing is currently used to create low-cost parts and prototypes. However, some analysts expect that it might not be long before 3D printed cars hit the city streets.

Automobile company Czinger is using artificial intelligence to help make its vehicles. The Czinger 21C vehicle uses 3D printing for parts of the car, as well as additive manufacturing to create ...
