The Blade Supercar

Produced with Divergent 3D’s proprietary platform, the
Blade supercar is a first-of-its-kind machine created
with 3D metal printing. Every 3D-printed component
of the car was designed and constructed for maximum
performance, flexibility and safety using laser
sintering—a technique to fuse thin layers of metal
alloy powder into complex shapes. The structure of
the car was inspired by natural forms. The “bones” of
the car, the structure that holds it together and
ultimately encases and protects the passenger, are
modeled after some of nature’s strongest structures.
In addition to its unique composition, the Blade is
incredibly lightweight – about two thirds the weight of
a conventional vehicle of comparable size. As a result,
the Blade delivers maximum fuel efficiency along with
“supercar” performance. The 3D metal printing
process is a more sustainable approach to auto-
making that reduces waste, energy input, and
emissions associated with shipping pre-fabricated
parts.
