[CBC뉴스] 영국의 한 스타트업은 자사의 3D 프린팅 전기자동차가 몇 달 만에 설계 및 제조되어 대량 생산이 아닌 대량 주문 제작이 더 저렴한 것을 증명했다고 말했다.
Swindon에 본사를 둔 Scale Limited는 카멜레온이 완전히 3D 프린팅된 부품으로 만든 섀시를 가지고 있으며, 전기 속도가 완전하며 최고 속도가 72km/h(45mph)라고 밝혔다.
A UK startup says its 3D printed electric vehicle was designed and made in a matter of months, proving that mass customisation, rather than mass production, is affordable.
Scaled Limited, based in Swindon, say the Chameleon has a chassis made entirely from 3D printed parts, is fully electric and has a top speed of 45mph (72km/h).
The company says they wanted to show how large scale 3D printed vehicles could improve on traditional heavy engineering with their concept vehicle weighing around 90 percent less than a conventional car at just 150kg.
The printing process can produce a vehicle tailored to any specific need, whether that's an urban last mile delivery vehicle, an electric bike or perimeter inspection car.
The team says the Chameleon was made using an almost entirely waste-free process, with some recycled plastic and can itself be recycled at the end of its life.
