全球第一輛3D打印賽車發(fā)布 設(shè)計(jì)到制作只花了3周

3D打印不愧是現(xiàn)在發(fā)展最快的領(lǐng)域,，繼衣（內(nèi)衣，高跟鞋）食（3鮮肉）�,。ǚ孔樱┲���,，現(xiàn)在也終于發(fā)展到出行了上，這16名來(lái)自比利時(shí)的魯汶工程聯(lián)合大學(xué)的工程師,，組成了名為Group T的團(tuán)隊(duì),，在3周時(shí)間內(nèi)就設(shè)計(jì)并通過(guò)3D打印制作了一輛時(shí)速可達(dá)141公里的賽車，參加了2012學(xué)生方程式賽車挑戰(zhàn)賽,。

Competing in the prestigious Formula Student 2012 challenge, a 16-man strong team of next-generation engineers from Group T have unveiled the world’s first race car created in great part through 3D Printing: the Areion. Named after the divinely-bred, extremely swift, immortal horse of Greek mythology, the Areion is a powerhouse of innovation and green technology. On July 31st, it lived up to its name on the Hockenheim race circuit by going from zero to 100km/h in just 4 seconds and achieving a top speed of 141km/h on the track. Cutting-edge technologies incorporated into their eco-friendly race car included an electric drive train, bio-composite materials, and of course, Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) on a grand scale with Materialise.
說(shuō)是3D打印制造,，實(shí)際上也只是通過(guò)3D打印完成了賽車的主車身，團(tuán)隊(duì)是用的Mammoth 打印機(jī),，最大可以打印 210x68x80厘米的部件,，在三周之內(nèi)，完成了這個(gè)主車身的設(shè)計(jì)及制造之后,，加上電動(dòng)的引擎及其他零部件，就完成了這輛加速至100公里/小時(shí)只需要4秒,，最高時(shí)速在141公里,，重量280公斤的電動(dòng)環(huán)保賽車。

不過(guò)雖然制作時(shí)長(zhǎng)很短,，采用高分子材料制造的這種賽車相信造價(jià)也不低,，至少無(wú)法滿足屌絲們的坐車買車的夢(mèng)想，不過(guò)倒是能滿足有想象力的技術(shù)宅做出各種外形的賽車的可能,，那樣的話,，也許看到霹靂賽車等動(dòng)漫名車很快也會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)了？真是讓人期待啊,。而在那之前,，向更了解這輛車的運(yùn)行狀況的，可以看下以下這個(gè)視頻,。
