A project to rebuild Smart car parts using rapid prototyping aims to show how the technology can be used to manufacture functional components. The project, which will be based at the Newbury headquarters of RP expert 3T RPD, will attempt to replicate or redesign the car's components, and rebuild them using selective laser sintering (SLS). This is a process by which plastic or metal components are built up layer by layer from a powder selectively bound together by a laser beam.
