Dutch students Emile Pop and Justin de Boer, from The Hague University (Haagse Hogeschool), are in the final stages of building their dream: The Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS, a 4 door “topless on demand” supercar.
The rear light fixtures were printed at the CabFabLab using the Dimension SST1200ES 3D printer. The Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS will be manufactured in a limited run of 20 cars. The rear light fixtures for the production run will be 3D printed due to the high cost of injection molded parts for such a small run. The transparent vacuum formed light cover and bent plastic interior were made at The Hague University (HHS).
After having built a “proof of concept” model of the rear light unit, Emile and Justin came back to the FabLab to print an improved version, for both the left and right side of the car. Adding up to a total of 6 3D jobs that took 75 hours. Luckily the Dutch supplier of the ABS plastic, SomaTech, was willing to help them out a bit by offering the required material at cost.
