3D printed, fully assembled, teeny-weeny little cars

This teeny weeny little car is 3D printed, fully assembled, with all its mechanisms in place:

These tiny 3D printed cars were printed on the Objet Eden 3D printer and scale down from 4cm in length to a tiny 1cm in length. Even in the tiniest car, the wheels remain fully functional and there is no deformation of walls or loss of fine details – highlighting the enormous power of Objet's 3D printers to turn CAD designs into visually and functionally accurate prototypes.
