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 ...

3D printers have become versatile, affordable, and powerful enough to print all sorts of things — including car parts. The process has also developed beyond DIY and prototyping (there are even 3D ...

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

Ford is partnering with Stratasys Ltd. to 3D-print prototype car parts and potentially specialty parts for low-volume cars in the near future. The Stratasys Infinite Build 3D printer, as its name ...

Last week we took a look at how Lamborghini is using forged composite carbon fiber in car production. But forged composites aren’t the only game in town when it comes to cutting edge materials.
