This picture is not a sculpture. It is the future of car manufacturing. The assembly line isn't going away, but 3-D printing is going to reshape how we make cars. The German Engineering firm showed off the Genesis design concept at the Geneva Motor Show, as proof that additive manufacturing EDAG's fancy term for 3-D printing can be used to make full size car components. We've seen 3-D printing applied to cars before, but EDAG's design is unique, because it shows with the right equipment you can produce a structure at a larger scale. The Genesis proposes that future cars can be produced in fewer steps, by assembling larger, strong unibody parts.
