Colorado-based father and son team spend five years 3D-printing and building a 1:1 scale replica Lamborghini Aventador SV.
The father-son duo embarked on the outrageous mission using just one 3D printer and a lot of patience. "We had our CR-10S going for a year and a quarter almost non-stop," Backus told ‘’ Joel Telling. As explained by Backus, the printer was intended for smaller projects so they had to assemble the Lamborghini part by part.
“We would make small pieces, about a foot cubed, and then take all of the pieces and join them together in a single panel,” he said. “But we didn’t want to just use 3D prints because we live in Colorado, and it gets hot here, so having it exposed in the sun is not good or structurally sound,” he added., Backus utilized carbon fiber to provide added strength to certain components. Also, Backus had to rig up a custom metal frame to fit all the 3D-printed parts.
"I couldn’t afford them, but Lamborghini loved the project so much that they donated these, and they look great," he explained. Lamborghini donated a genuine Aventador steering wheel. According to Backus, the Lamborghini badge would only appear on this part of the car as a sign of respect for the brand.Backus acquired an engine from a 2005 Corvette found at a junkyard and subsequently rebuilt it to suit his needs.
Backus mentioned that he intends to make adjustments to the car's mechanics and electrical components. After completing the necessary changes, Backus plans to exhibit the car at the Bandimere Speedway show in August.
