For as long as cars have existed, three fundamental truths
appeared to be eternal. First, every car contains safety critical
components, second these components are mostly metal and third,
they are manufactured by one of two methods-stamping or cold

legal reality, that if the safety critical component fails the
manufacturer will be liable to the injured party. It's hard to
think of a more trite and dependable set of principles. But these
timeless precepts are about to become disrupted as the automotive
industry continues to explore the innovation of 3D printing.
