Divergent Microfactories in San Francisco, USA has just successfully developed a project to manufacture a supercar using 3D printing technology called Blade.

By using 3D printing technology, the manufacturer has created a chassis that is up to 90% lighter than a traditional chassis. Along with that, the majority of the body is made of carbon fiber instead of steel and aluminum. As a result, this car weighs only 0.7 tons, about 1/3 of other supercars on the market.

In addition, this supercar can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in approximately 2.2 seconds - much faster than current supercars.

The Blade has a 700HP engine that can run on compressed natural gas. Therefore, it is also considered an environmentally friendly supercar.

The technology to produce this car will be sold to one of the major car manufacturers today.
