Merry Christmas! Hey~ This phrase, of course, cannot just be said by me to everyone. Today, the Italian supercar brand Lamborghini also released their festive video, telling a very warm story between a father and son, and sending Christmas greetings to car enthusiasts around the world.At the end of the video, the little boy softly says, “I love my dad,” which truly touched me. Christmas, like our Spring Festival, is a holiday for families to gather in love. Now, let’s take a look at how this father and son used 3D printing and scientific knowledge to “create” a Lamborghini Aventador.
Our main character, “dad,” is named Sterling Backus, a PhD in physics. The two of them love to play a racing game called 【Forza】, and the car that the son likes the most in the game is the Lamborghini Aventador.
Like most people, the Aventador’s price of around $430,000 is simply unattainable in reality. However, the son’s wish is not for the real car; he just wants a model. So, the “dad,” being a physics PhD, had a bolder idea.
He planned to work with his son to “self-sufficiently” create a full-size Lamborghini Aventador in their garage using 3D printing. This not only fulfills the child’s wish but also allows the child to learn scientific knowledge that cannot be touched in textbooks throughout the entire production process.
Isn’t it a bit magical, even unbelievable, that such a high-quality full-size exterior cover is entirely completed by 3D printing?
After confirming the 3D data of the Aventador’s appearance, they incorporated some of their own ideas and reasonably divided the entire exterior parts into several small sections for easier printing. Once the printing was completed, they could start assembling.
The written description may be very understated, but the actual construction is quite challenging. Below is a video sharing how the father handled the exterior parts.A car cannot just have exterior parts; the frame and “insides” are equally important. For the frame, the “dad” used sufficiently strong steel, while for the “insides,” almost everything came from the second-hand market, including many original parts from Porsche, Audi, and Lamborghini itself.
During the actual assembly process, in addition to the main 3D printing, the father and son also engaged in various processes such as making door hinges, metal frame parts, suspension system processing, and engine layout, where they encountered many knowledge areas like electrical engineering, CNC machining, bonding, and polishing.
This handmade Lambo has achieved basic starting and driving capabilities. Of course, its performance cannot be compared to the original car, but this heartfelt gesture from a father is something that a cold, hard real car cannot match.Let’s share the father’s joy through the video. The real Aventador SV Roadster that Lamborghini lent them also makes an appearance!A father’s love is as solid as a mountain.During our growth, the companionship of parents is a very important part, and family ties have the power to connect us most closely.A car is just a channel; love is what we should be most grateful for. Christmas is here, and the Spring Festival is not far away. Let’s go home; they really miss you.
