Local Motors made headlines in 2014 by manufacturing the world’s first 3d printed car, The Strati, and you would be forgiven for thinking that it is a manufacturing firm similar to Tesla or Lotus Cars, but you would be wrong. Local Motors is quite unlike any other manufacturing firm in the world. In essence, it’s a social platform that facilitates collaboration in manufacturing and innovation.

On the company website, Local Motors describes itself as a “global co-creation community… made up of enthusiasts, hobbyist innovators and professionals.” The community is full of designers, engineers, and makers, and Local Motors helps them connect with one another to create a global network of ‘micro-factories’ where new and innovative products can come to life.
The agility of the business is unrivalled, and as such it can bring state-of-the-art projects to life in a fraction of the time required by larger manufacturing firms. Case in point: The Strati.
So what makes Local Motors so unique and how is it changing the industry for good?
