I like the car idea, I think if this goes to a mass production, it will turn the industry upside down.
Does someone know, is the production of 3D printed car costs less than a real car?
It would be so cool

I think they will be kind of cheaper at some point. The engine and other inner stuff will probably be just as expensive as the from a normal car, but the outer layers will be done from plastic or so, and it's cheaper.

The ideas are really cool though. But I wonder, most of there items are printed using plastic.. Is this production even environmentally friendly?

One of the best things about 3D printing is that they can use biodegradable plastic, which is eco-friendly :)
