Urbee - First 3D Printed Car | Triple Pundit: People, Planet, Profit
At 200 miles-per-gallon, the Urbee hybrid-electric car is touted by some as the “greenest car in the world.” But what might truly set the Urbee apart is that instead of building a prototype the “old-fashioned” way, Canadian design firm KOR EcoLogic printed one from a computer.
The Urbee is the first car produced from a 3D printer using advanced design tools provided by Autodesk through their Clean Tech Partner Program, which grants licenses to early stage clean-tech firms to suites of Autodesk design software worth up to $150,000 for only $50.
