AI(AI) continues to transform many industries, including the automotive industry. It drives innovation, improves safety and paves the way for smarter vehicles. But combined with additive manufacturing, another cutting-edge technology, AI opens up new perspectives, particularly in the manufacturing of complex parts. An emblematic example of this convergence is the Czinger 21C, a 21st century supercar where artificial intelligence and 3D printing optimize performance and design. According to a study published by Zebra Technologies in 2023, almost 43% of decision-makers in the German automotive industry are already using artificial intelligence in industrial processes. But a recent project transcends these advances: Robo-EV, a futuristic 3D printed microcar that integrates artificial intelligence at the heart of the driving experience.
According to Mohou.com,Manufactured by the Swiss company PIX Moving, Robo-EV pushes the limits of innovation. This 3D printed metal car offers unique artificial intelligence: a personal assistant capable of detecting the emotional state of the driver. Leveraging powerful language models, AI can analyze the tone of a driver’s voice to provide personalized assistance, whether it’s practical advice or emotional reassurance. An integrated voice system allows intuitive interaction and the vehicle can be adapted for a variety of uses, from light transport to utility configurations. The designers of PIX Moving are even considering integration into public transport systems.

The Robo-EV also stands out for its completely open design, providing an immersive open-air driving experience. Designed entirely by 3D printing, the prototype features an optimized metal structure that reduces the number of assembled parts, limiting welds and improving structural integrity. Topology optimization maximizes strength while reducing weight and friction noise. For the suspension, a basalt-based composite material was chosen, combining strength, lightness and corrosion resistance while reducing carbon emissions. Personalized, custom-printed seats provide additional comfort.
In addition to an avant-garde aesthetic,Robo-EV also stands out for its sustainable approach. Its lightweight aerodynamic design improves fuel efficiency, while a regenerative braking system recharges the battery while driving. These capabilities, combined with 3D printing and the integration of artificial intelligence, demonstrate how these technologies can revolutionize the automotive industry, providing more sustainable, safer and personalized solutions.
