This is what I,m going for

I have the model but, it doesn't have things like hinges and gutters for the rubbers so each part needs to be modified.

Yes that's what I am basically doing

We just have bigger printers so it will be allot faster as I don't have to break everything up in 6x6 pieces

I can also print materiela like, fiberglass, carbon fiber, Kevlar and stainless steel. So all the air vents and interior panels I'll print in carbon fiber and they'll be ready to fit. Dash and Door panels I might do in Kevlar

I found a 3D model of an LP720 roadster but, it still needs allot of work before I can print the parts

A year or so ago I saw a fellow's website that showed his 3D printing of an entire Maserati.  It was an old model and he did the printing in 6x6 panels or something like that and glued it all together.

Pretty sure he then took molds from the car and panels but can't remember for sire.

You can see several others that have done cars as well of you search for 3D printing of a car.

Good lick and keep updates coming.

Cheers
Don

small parts maybe, body panels its not a good idea. i know someone that took about 7 months just to print a seat and it still needs to be bondo and sanded.

Printing an Avent

Has anyone printed any parts for a Aventador Roadster ?

I am looking into printing a complete Aventador roadster body and interior

I do have access to 3D printers and I have allot of experience in 3D software, so this is the way forward for me.

I am sure I can download a complete 3D model of the Avent roadster somewhere ?

I stay in South Africa and after allot of research I have found that it will be way to expensive to import a kit, a body and interior kit will cost the same as an real Gallardo.
