Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
Take a few minutes to gaze at his Torino in the gallery (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/1971-ford-torino-3-d-printed-liquid-metal-transfer/) we included.This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/10/12/3d-printed-liquid-metal-ford-torino/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Sat, 12 Oct 2013 11:57:00 EST.
