Cars with parts made by 3D printers are already on the road, but engineers are still learning about this new technology. While testing the possibility of printing an entire car, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy recently created an electric-powered replica of an iconic sports roadster.
AC Cobra, also known as Ford/Shelby Cobra, is an Anglo-American, two-seater sports car, manufactured intermittently since 1962. It competed in a number of road races but, because it was so expensive, it never sold in large numbers.
