Laser physicist Sterling Backus and his son Xander have been working to create a full-scale Lamborghini Aventador Spider with bodywork made using a 3D printer.<\/p>\n

They used models found online for the Aventador bodywork and printed them using a variety of plastics including carbon fibre infused materials where extra strength was required. The car’s entire frame and suspension are made with a steel spaceframe design mimicking that of real Lamborghini.<\/p>\n
