Sponsored Video: NTU Students Create 3D Printed Electric Car

We have seen 3D printers making the headlines recently with the capability to manufacture products from high-fashion accessories to medical implants. Little did we expect that an innovative team of students from Nanyang Technological University would wow our Little Red Dot with the country’s first 3D-printed “urban solar electric car” prototype!

When Ilmi Wahab, a computer engineering student and Ng Kok Choong, a mechanical engineering student, first joined NTU, they didn’t even know how an internal combustion works. But at NTU, they were given the opportunity to work on the 3D-printed car and it is all set to hit the racetrack at Shell’s Eco-marathon Asia in Manila later this month.

In addition to NV 8, the students also built a partially-solar-powered, battery electric, three-wheeled racer prototype called the NV 9, which claimed to achieve around 425 km (264 miles) per kWh of electrical energy. The racer has a special tilting mechanism that will enable it to lean up to 40 degrees in the direction of the turn and take sharp corners with minimal speed loss.
