Local Motors, a pioneer in 3D printed vehicles, is collaborating with Arizona State University (ASU) to develop next-generation 3D printing materials. These materials are intended for the production of advanced automotive components, marking a significant step forward in the future of vehicle manufacturing. This partnership is part of ASU’s Polytechnic eProjects initiative, which aims to bridge academic research with industry innovation by involving students and faculty from the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering in real-world projects. In late 2015, Local Motors made headlines by unveiling the world's first 3D printed car, the Strati. Since then, the company has been working on two new designs, aiming to launch them later this year. The company had previously planned to have its 3D printed cars on the road by early 2016. Recently, they also introduced two fully customizable car models that will be built using Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) technology, allowing for rapid production and tailored design options. “Working with ASU on these materials is crucial for advancing our vision of the world’s first 3D printed car,” said John B. Rogers, CEO and co-founder of Local Motors. “Our goal is to create safer, more efficient vehicles than those currently on the road. Collaborating with top-tier universities like ASU helps us achieve this objective.” The Polytechnic eProjects program gives students the chance to engage with multiple industry-led projects and choose one that aligns with their interests. Each project involves a team of 4 to 8 students from different disciplines, guided by both faculty and industry experts. At the end of the semester, the projects are showcased at ASU’s annual innovation fair. For this collaboration, Local Motors has named the project "LOCO," short for Local Motors Co-Created. This initiative offers students and faculty a platform to contribute to real-world engineering challenges. The team will focus on designing, simulating, and manufacturing test structures to enhance the interlaminar strength of 3D printed automotive parts. Dr. John M. Parsey Jr., director of ASU’s eProjects, will oversee the student involvement in the program. Students involved in the project will have access to Local Motors’ large-scale 3D printers located in Tempe, Arizona. These machines will be used to build the next generation of 3D printed vehicles. As the first automotive company to adopt DDM technology, Local Motors is revolutionizing the industry by reducing reliance on traditional molds, enabling custom-built cars, and accelerating the time it takes to bring products to market.
