The title here is a little misleading. They didn't create the whole car with a 3D printer. They just used a Stratasys FDM machine (the "3d printer") to make the outer body panels... basically just the outer shell of the car that is painted and polished.<p>Here is a link to the actual website for the vehicle, instead of the terrible blog write-up: <a href="http://www.urbee.net/home/" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbee.net/home/</a>

Here's a short video of their prototype: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JpIj9IN924" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JpIj9IN924</a><p>Looks like at least the current prototype uses printed panels on top of a steel spaceframe, so probably "3D printed car body" would be a closer title. :) Still damn cool!
