If you build it they will come, right? If you don’t get the movie reference, it’s okay – it’s an old one. I’ll give you a hint: Field of Dreams. The question is, does it really apply to 3D printed car parts?
You might be thinking, there’s no way I’m trusting my life to something created with a 3D printer, but guess what? You couldn’t be more wrong.
These parts are often stronger than the original, or at the very least, they allow companies to test parts that are much cheaper to produce. Here we see parts being made out of carbon fiber and nylon, and believe me, they’re built to last.
There’s nothing more frustrating for the auto enthusiast working on a classic car than running into the neverending challenge of trying to find parts for their vintage project. It’s doubtful you’ll find a much more appropriate application for the use of a 3D printer in the auto industry than in the attempted restoration of classic cars with hard to find parts. 3D printing to the rescue – at least that’s how this guy sees it anyway, and we agree.
