“Using just a $500 3D-printer and a free wire-frame model downloaded from the internet, Ivan Sentch is printing out his own car. It’s a response years in the making to the notorious anti-piracy advert that shouted at would-be pirates that they ‘wouldn’t steal a car‘. The standard response – ‘well I would if I could download it’ – is now a step closer to reality. And this isn’t just any car – Sentch hasn’t stinted and is now about three quarters of the way through printing a 1961 Aston Martin DB4. Sentch, a programmer from Auckland, New Zealand, began his project by downloading a fan-made 3D model of the car.”
