Source: www.youtube.com A 3D printer was found in LEGO's designer kits, and not just anywhere, but in a set with a Ferrari car test center! We tell how he got there. With 3D printing, LEGO is connected in every possible way, and not always desirable for the company itself, because many fans print missing or even original blocks at home. And it happens the other way around when 3D-printers are assembled from LEGO, as in the case of the “drigstall” in the illustration below. Assembly instructions, by the way, are publicly available on the Instructables website. In the kit dedicated to the design and testing of Ferrari sports and racing cars, the 3D printer was not accidental either, because the famous Italian automaker, or rather its no less famous Formula 1 “stable”, has been using 3D printing technology for several years, and not only for prototyping, but also in the production of final parts for racing cars. The most striking example is steel engine pistons, made in 2017 using the technology of selective laser deposition of metal powder compositions. Why did Italian designers decide to try out steel pistons instead of the usual analogs of aluminum alloy? Read about it in the material at this link. And this season, Scuderia Ferrari has equipped cars with 3D-printed turbocharger exhaust pipes made on industrial 3D-printers from Renishaw (in the illustration above). In general, everything is logical: if you already make a set on the development of bright red fireballs, then you can not do without a 3D printer. Apparently, the LEGO Speed ??Champions: Ferrari FXX K & Development Center kits went on sale in the summer of 2017, but the 3Dtoday did not pay attention due to many very good reasons. But now we finally know what to buy as a birthday present for a child aged 7 to 70 - our free production and testing center complete with a Ferrari FXX K hypercar model, as well as equipment for aerodynamic purging and very, very fast prototyping
