Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...

3D printers have become versatile, affordable, and powerful enough to print all sorts of things — including car parts. The process has also developed beyond DIY and prototyping (there are even 3D ...

Ford is partnering with Stratasys Ltd. to 3D-print prototype car parts and potentially specialty parts for low-volume cars in the near future. The Stratasys Infinite Build 3D printer, as its name ...

MIT researchers have devised new tech that can 3D print entire complex machines with moving parts in a matter of hours.

Last week we took a look at how Lamborghini is using forged composite carbon fiber in car production. But forged composites aren’t the only game in town when it comes to cutting edge materials.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In 2021, NASCAR unveiled its Next Gen platform that included a ...

Car design may still be led by the heart, not the head, but VW is experimenting with artificial intelligence that could dramatically change how components are made, even growing them using ...

Imagine: A laser fuses layer after layer of razor-thin powder until it forms a solid metal shape. This process, known as 3D printing, is Volkswagen’s newest method to create car parts. Last year, ...

Production of the 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe was about to begin late last summer in Arlington, Texas, when engineers made a last-minute design change to the tailgate-mounted spoiler. The move threatened to ...

Porsche has a huge supply of spare parts to keep its classic cars on the road, but it doesn't have everything. Supplies of certain components run out, and often, it's way too expensive to build a ...
