3D Printed Racing Cars!

A car racing game based on 3D printing has emerged. 

3D Racers is ā€œA racing game you can print!ā€ according to their website. And thatā€™s precisely what it is. 

Using their service you can specify a number of parameters to generate unique miniature racing cars. The 3D printed car parts are assembled along with key components such as wheels, Arduino controller and more to produce a working remote control racing car. 

A sensor in each car detects ā€œgatesā€ by which cars are tracked during races. Software manages scoreboards, lap times and more. 

3D Racers has been shown at Makerfaire, but we understand theyā€™re building up to a crowdfunding campaign that should launch soon. 

This is a great example of how 3D printing can change a relatively common activity (RC car racing) into something much more exciting. The notion of easily designing your own vehicle puts more of you in the game.
