Local Motors engineers, Nestor and James, introduce us to the much anticipated 3D printed car chassis that just arrived here at the Phoenix micro-factory, printed at Oakridge National Lab. After analyzing the print for much of the morning, Nestor and James have dove right into it, beginning to attach all four pieces with hardware and adhesive. This project will be moving along quickly so keep yourself updated by checking in daily!

Last night, Tech Cocktail held a DC Sessions event at the GE Garage in downtown Washington, where we got to sit down for a fireside chat with Local Motors‘ Chief Strategy Officer, Justin Fishkin, and GE’s Executive Director for Global Innovation & New Models, Stephen J. Liguori. The two companies have teamed up in 2014 for an initiative that aims to instill innovation in the global community. Through a platform called Firstbuild, which is slated to launch this summer, the partnership is leading the charge in reinventing the manufacturing industry. We got the opportunity to learn a little more about the ways through which each company is spurring innovation in the maker community, and the potential for 3D printing to set off major changes in manufacturing.

Jay Rogers, a former marine with an MBA from Harvard, and his friend Jeff Jones were still in business school when they hit upon an idea that could one day remake American manufacturing. In 2008, they started an online car company where people could collaborate on design and build their vehicles in a network of local “microfactories.” They called it Local Motors.

Local Motors is the crowdsourcing car company we told you about back in 2011. It brings together engineers, industrial designers, and transportation designers to co-design a highly specialized vehicle using an open development platform. The company will then produce it in limited runs at a microfactory. In the cooperative research and development agreement with ORNL, the two will aim at solving some of the thorniest problems in applying 3D printing to car production: How to speed up production and assembly time, make it cost less, and reduce part counts, in other words, how to make the production process more efficient.

GE and Local Motors, a crowdsource design community similar to Quirky, have joined forces to create an open-source platform called FirstBuild. FirstBuild will be used exclusively for designing, testing, and producing large appliances with an emphasis on co-creation and micro-manufacturing. Basically, that means that it will make small batches of products in a hurry -- something Local Motors is known for.
