Are 3D-printed cars the next big thing?

"I like to think about it as, you go to a car wash today and you stand in front of the window and you’re like, ‘look at my car getting washed,’" said Rogers. "It’s the same thing, look at my car being made, being printed."

Right now, that takes 40 hours — but the goal is to get it under 12. Rogers says about 95 percent of the volume of the car is printed.

"Structure, body, close-outs, all that stuff is printed," explained Rogers. "We don’t print tires right now, we don’t print wheels, we don’t print springs, and we’re not right now printing the motor."
