In September, at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago, IL, Local Motors will present the first electric vehicle made with a 3D printer. The future is now and all that cliché crap.

“IMTS is the perfect venue on which to showcase the next evolution of Local Motors’ World of Vehicle Innovations,“ said Local Motors CEO Jay Rogers. “To deliver the first co-created, locally relevant, 3D-printed vehicle on an international stage dedicated to celebrating cutting-edge manufacturing technology is powerful reinforcement of our commitment to driving the Third Industrial Revolution.”

The plan is to use this vehicle as a demonstration of how technology can reduce environmental impact and production costs while creating new products and high paying jobs.
