The car may also possible use the identical 3D-printing manufacturing course of because the 21C. This does away with tooling, meeting traces, and all the opposite costly trappings of conventional automotive manufacturing, permitting for extra flexibility. Primarily, all metallic components, together with some created from titanium and heat-resistant Inconel, are 3D-printed, whereas physique panels are created from composite supplies.
The 3D-printing manufacturing course of is gradual, although. Czinger mentioned it’s going to take round 3,000 hours to construct every 21C. Because of this, the corporate will stick with excessive low volumes for every of its autos. The 21C, for instance, can have a manufacturing run of simply 80 items.
