BERLIN: German engineering firm EDAG has unveiled its 16th concept car Light Cocoon, having a 3D-printed structure.
The curious-looking vehicle will glow from a display at the 2015 Geneva auto show. EDAG’s car is said to be very lightweight, saving something like 25 percent versus those of traditional vehicles. As isn’t the rage in any time period, the Light Cocoon concept’s structure is bionically inspired and features an organic-looking, lattice-like passenger cage.
A skin made from an outdoor clothing company’s waterproof jersey fabric is stretched over the hard bits, and EDAG stuffed a bunch of LED lights under it so that the cellular chassis is on full display (which doesn’t sound like a weight-saving measure).
