Sterling Backus’ 3D printed Lamborghini was one of 3dpbm’s biggest stories ever and rightly so. The project is truly amazing: to think that someone could 3D print several parts of an Aventador replica’s body at home, on basic desktop systems (used as a base shape for composites), and actually build a working car seemed impossible. And yet, here it is: the (almost) final product looks truly amazing and it is a great inspiration for STEM education, which is exactly what Backus set out to promote.

The company’s racing teams include NASCAR, the International Motor Sports Association competitions, Grand Touring endurance competitions, INDYCAR races, and other North American events. The cars that Chevrolet fields at these events each include 3D printed components—parts that share design and function with General Motors’ more standard vehicles.
