3D printing solar car: a major revolution in the global automotive industry

With the advancement and maturation of **3D printing technology**, our daily lives and work have undergone significant changes. Industry experts believe that the global automotive sector is currently undergoing a major transformation. From Tesla’s electric vehicles to self-driving cars, and even Local Motors’ **3D printed cars**, what once seemed like science fiction is now becoming a reality step by step. Recently, an Australian startup called EVX Ventures has introduced an ambitious and seemingly unconventional idea, and they're working hard to bring it to life. Barry Nguyen, co-founder and CEO of EVX Ventures, envisions a solar-powered car named **Immortus**. This vehicle can run continuously as long as there's sunlight and can be manufactured using **3D printed nodes** or connecting components. The concept of building a car through 3D printed parts might sound unfamiliar, but it's not entirely new. In June this year, media outlets reported that Divergent Microfactories (DM) used a similar 3D printed node system to create the high-performance Blade, a lightweight supercar with impressive power. While their designs differ, both share the common use of 3D printed nodes, which significantly reduces weight, allowing for better performance and efficiency. According to Nguyen, Immortus is designed to be more than just a car—it’s a revolutionary approach to personal transportation. In an interview with *Gizmag*, he emphasized: “We don’t want to be another Tesla. Tesla is a mass producer. We are boutique designers focused on custom electric vehicles. Regulations in the US and Australia allow individuals to build their own cars. That means if you sign a contract with a custom manufacturer and specify your design, you can get a road-legal car without needing crash tests—saving millions. Our plan is to sell these in small batches.” Nguyen is currently seeking $1.5 million to bring his vision to life. The final price of Immortus is expected to be around $37,000, which isn’t cheap, but the company plans to produce only 100 units. Each car will be built locally by custom manufacturers near the customer. These local factories can use their own carbon fiber tubes, while EVX Ventures will send 3D printed nodes or digital design files for assembly. The Immortus features a 10 kWh battery pack that powers a 1212-pound vehicle for 248 miles, even at night. During the day, it can travel up to 342 miles at 53 mph, and if the driver slows down to 37 mph, the car can theoretically run indefinitely. Here are some of the key technical specifications: - **Length:** 5 meters - **Width:** 2 meters - **Height:** 1.1 meters - **Total panel area:** 7 square meters - **Battery efficiency:** 22% - **Peak output:** 2 × 20 kW - **Rated output:** 2.25 kW - **Center of gravity height:** 0.6 meters - **Wheelbase:** 2.5 meters - **Motor type:** Dual hub motor (mounted on rear wheels) EVX Ventures will showcase a smaller prototype of the Immortus at the SEMA Auto Show from November 3 to 6, giving the public a glimpse into the future of sustainable, customizable, and 3D-printed transportation.
