Probably, but not all of it. You've got engine bearings and cylinder liners with special compounds and tight tolerances.
It might be easier to print forms for pressing/hammering body panels and plugs for molds to cast parts.
I also don't know if I would totally trust a 3d printed frame
- memracom 12y agoSince 3d sintering used metal powder it may be possible to do special alloys as well. I agree that the end solution may be a hybrid one with d printed parts from different materials assembled together. Also, as you point out a lot of testing would be needed for parts that are exposed to constant stress such as the frame, axles and so on.
