帥爆了!全世界首款3D打印跑車!
The Blade, the first 3D printed supercar, weighing 90% less that traditional cars, can go from 0-60mph in just two seconds.
刀鋒，首臺3D打印的跑車，比傳統車輕90%，可以在兩秒內完成從0到每小時60英里的加速。The Blade is created using a series of chassis parts held together by carbon rods - rather like a giant Lego 700-horsepower engine can use either compressed natural gas or gasoline, and altogether it weighs just 1400lbs.
刀鋒的底盤部件是由碳棒拼接而成，就像一組巨型的樂高玩具。700馬力的引擎，可以由壓縮天然氣或者汽油驅動，總共才1400磅重。Society has made great strides in its awareness and adoption of cleaner and greener problem is that while these cars do now exist, the actual manufacturing of them is anything but environmentally friendly.
社會已經有意識要採用更清潔、更環保的能源，並取得了長足進步。問題是，儘管現在有這樣的車，其實際製造過程可一點兒也不環保。
Divergent Microfactories says its approach incorporates 3D printing to dramatically reduce the pollution, materials and capital costs associated with building automobiles and other large complex Divergent Microfactories, they've found a way to make automobiles that holds the promise of radically reducing the resource use and pollution generated by also holds the promise of making large-scale car manufacturing affordable for small teams of innovators.
DM公司稱他們的方法是融合3D打印技術，在製造汽車和其他複雜結構時大幅減少污染、節約材料和資金成本。在DM,他們找到了方法，可以減少汽車在生產過程中的資源使用和環境污染。有望讓小型創新隊伍也負擔得起大規模的汽車生產。The Blade is made using a proprietary solution called a Node: a 3D-printed aluminum joint that connects pieces of carbon fiber tubing to make up the car's solves the problem of time and space by cutting down on the actual amount of 3D printing required to build the chassis and can be assembled in just minutes.
刀鋒是用一種叫“節點”的專利解決方案製成的：一種3D打印的鋁製節點連接起碳纖維管，組成車子的底盤。這樣，製作底盤實際所需的3D打印的時間縮短了，三五分鐘底盤就能組裝完畢，既節省時間也不浪費空間。
