Strati, the first 3D printed electric car, sells for 110,000 yuan

November 20, 2024



3D printing technology has become more and more common and more and more mature. Many items in our lives can already be manufactured directly through 3D printing technology. From small toys to food to large houses, almost everything can be done with 3D printing. Now even cars that can run on the road can be manufactured directly from 3D printing.


The 3D printed electric car named Strati is manufactured by Local Motors of Arizona, USA, through 3D printing technology at the 6-day International Manufacturing Technology Exhibition 2014. It takes 44 hours to print parts and assembly. It has only 40 parts and components, while traditional auto parts have more than 20,000, the lowest price is 11,000 pounds (about 110,000 yuan).

Strati's top speed is up to 56 kilometers per hour and the battery can support 193 to 243 kilometers. Despite being called the first 3D-printed car, in fact not all parts are printed. Frames, bodywork, seats, center consoles, dashboards, and hoods are printed in 3D, but cables, tires, rims, batteries, suspensions, electric engines, and windshields are all traditionally used.



This car can carry two passengers, mainly consisting of a black plastic layer and a carbon fiber reinforcement layer. In an interview with John Rogers, CEO of Local Motors, “We are the first company to use 3D printing technology to manufacture cars using carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics. Seats, bodywork, chassis, center consoles, hoods, etc. It is 3D printed.


Local Motors hopes to sell a 3D-printed car for between £11,000 and £18,000 (approximately RMB180,000), depending on the model and function selected by the buyer. Previously, the company had used similar methods to make motorcycles, electric skateboards, and other vehicles. John Rogers hopes that this less expensive manufacturing process can accelerate the automotive industry's innovation.

Manual Saw Blade Sharpening Machine

  1. The clamp mould and knife wheel are designed finished to guarantee the central line of workpiece and knife wheel is exact. Thus, the outer angle, inner angle and pipe end machining may be finished evenly at one time.So this gear sharpening machine has the high performance.
  2. This sharpening machine makes use of the change of belt wheel to shift different rotate speeds, so the life of blade may be as long as possible according to different metal materials.
  3. The double-step feeding system saves working time. And the speed of Saw Blade Sharpening Machine is slow for regulating easily.
