3D-printed PS Flat Car

Jim Kindraka shared photos of his 3D-printed efforts, to produce a Pullman-Standard 60' flat car. He is working with Scott MacKenzie. Scott does the design work, while Jim does the actual printing and then building the parts into real models, as shown in the photos below. The models in the photos are not final yet. There are, as of yet, no plans to make these into some sort of commercial effort, as printing these cars is quite expensive. These were not printed using Shapeways. However, it does go to show that if you want a unique car, there are ways to accomplish it. The wooden deck of the flat car was custom-made by B.T.S. using their laser-cutter.
