Local Motors, a company specializing in design and development of vehicles, has declared the winner of its Project Redacted challenge - a unique competition launched to challenge the co-creation community to design state-of-the-art 3D-printed cars.
凯文·洛（Kevin Lo）的重新加载编辑 - 游泳/运动是比赛的获胜者。除了其尖端设计外，该条目还展示了直接数字制造（DDM）的各种好处，例如生产完全可定制的车辆的能力。该设计还具有多功能基础，可以支持各种样式和技术选择。
Local Motors reiterated its capability to build DDM-based vehicles when it launched the Strati, the world’s first 3D-printed car, in September 2014. Local Motors used DDM in its vehicle production mainly to reduce the amount of tooling required and at the same time increase speed to market for highway-ready versions.
在当地电动机，我们对革命制造业的革命性很高。汽车制造商在100多年来一直以相同的方式踩踏零件。
We now have the technology to make the process and products better and faster by linking the online to the offline through DDM. This process will create better and safer products, and we are doing exactly that.

CEO and Co-founder of Local Motors
The winning design will serve as the basis for the world’s first road-ready 3D-printed vehicles that are yet to be named. Local Motors intends to build and market a low speed electric vehicle (LSEV) iteration, which is scheduled to be launched in the first quarter of 2016, along with a completely homologated highway-ready version later in 2016.

在严格的投票过程中，选择了获胜设计，该过程涉及当地汽车社区，还选择了包括SABIC高级经理Geert Jan Schellekens的专业评审小组；汽车爱好者和前今晚秀的主持人杰伊·莱诺（Jay Leno）；以及SEMA车辆技术副总裁John Waraniak。
You need something that makes you go ‘what’s that? My top choice would be Reload Redacted - Swim/Sport because it’s sporty, fun and you can commute in it.

此外，当地电动机开发了一支名为Loco University车辆的车队。Loco是当地汽车共同创建的大学车辆的缩写，是该公司通过与全国领先的实验室和大学合作来重新定义汽车行业的战略计划之一。展望未来，这些合作将通过与该国一些最聪明的头脑共同创造来扩大3D打印和其他类似技术。
Three universities will take part in the program: the Arizona State University (ASU), the University of Michigan (U of M), and the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV). U of M will handle delivery of the LOCO and will focus its efforts on development of autonomous technology. The LOCO would be used to develop an autonomous vehicles fleet. These vehicles will be used to transport students across the North Campus of the University and will also serve as the first-ever testbed for on-demand autonomous vehicle technology.
“想想Uber，但使用低速，自动驾驶汽车”said Ed Olson, an associate professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at University of Michigan who leads the project.“The goal of this program is for us to begin to understanding the challenges of a transportation-on-demand system built around autonomous cars.”
Additionally, the UNLV LOCO will also focus on autonomous vehicle technology. The collaboration with Arizona State University will carry out pioneering studies on next-generation materials. The aim is for schools to deliver sophisticated technology in additive manufacturing to the Local Motors co-creation community.
该社区将在接下来的几个月中工作，以创建并将重新加载到美国的道路上。DDM促进了在车辆中快速采用创新技术。例如，当地电动机社区已经开发了一个电动动力总成测试平台来分析复杂的电池技术，该电池技术将集成到3D打印的汽车中。
在测试平台中，电池技术利用当今iPhone和电动汽车中使用的相同的锂离子化学。本地电动机已经在探索其他高级电池选项。
例如，该公司正在调查锂硫电池技术，该技术在利用50％的锂离子技术的重量时产生了三倍的能量。此外，电动动力总成测试平台是开发将在3D打印车中使用的动力总成的基础。
Local Motors is set to be at the forefront of electric vehicle technology in the coming months.
