Dad 3D-Prints His Son A Lamborghini Aventador

 He took 3D-printing to the next level.                                 

Everyone wants to drive a Lamborghini, but not everyone’s dad is able to build them one. Sterling Backus has been blowing up on the internet this week after Lamborghini Aventador.Autoblogsays Backus built the car after it’s been mentioned while playingForzaon his Xbox.

 

Backus is the chief scientific officer at KMLabs in Boulder, Colorado and spent $ 20, 000 to build the because. He hand-built a steel chassis and took a LS1 V8 from a Corvette to give the ride power. GrabCAD, an online design community.

 

The biggest hurdle Backs had to be overcome in the sun. The 3D-printed plastic simply was not strong enough. To fix this, he wrapped carbon-fiber on the parts and covered them in epoxy.

 

All-together, it must have taken a remarkable amount of time get to where the project is today. Apparently, the front brake air intake itself took 52 hours to finish. Backus says he hopes for an educational tool for Science Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) programs. You can check out the official FaceBook page for the car here.
