3D Printer Created Working Car

A working vehicle has been created by 3D printing. The Strati, Italian for layers, took 44 hours to complete and was unveiled at the International Manufacturing Technology show last week. Other 3D printed vehicles have been made, but none are able drive. This electric vehicle can reach a speed of 40 mph and can travel 120 miles on one charge. The Strati has 49 parts which is significantly less compared to most vehicles that have anywhere from 5,000 to 6,000. The Strati will have to go through many tests before it becomes street legal. Although we don’t have any vehicles made by a printer, we do have Toyota’s and that's the next best thing. Come into Yokem Toyota to check out an amazing selection!

Toyota's New Concept Vehicle for Entrepreneurs

Inspired by an increasing amount of entrepreneurs and those who like to do it themselves, this vehicle is as versatile as they are. This urban utility concept vehicle has the ability to roll back its roof, and the tailgate will fold down allowing it to be used like a ramp. The concept vehicle has been introduced at a Maker community event where Toyota was able to receive advice from the vehicle’s target audience, and design it especially for their needs. So for now, the vehicle has returned to California to make improvements before it will be available to purchase. Until then, come into Yokem Toyota where you can find a Toyota vehicle that surely fits your lifestyle.
