One of the sectors that benefit the most from 3D printing technologies is the automotive industry. Additive manufacturing is often associated with affordability and speed, so many car manufacturers use this technology to produce car parts cheaper and faster. Meanwhile, Lamborghini is associated with anything but affordability – the brand is the definition of high-end expensive sports cars. Nevertheless, the company still actively uses additive manufacturing because AM offers more than just saved costs and rapid production, for Lamborghini 3D printing represents endless opportunities of customization. Previously, the brand has collaborated with Carbon to build 3D printed parts for Sian FKP 37. Yesterday, the 8th of July, Lamborghini introduced Sian Roadster, so let’s take a closer look at the stunning new model.

The Sian Roadster was presented in Blu Uranus color, representing blue skies and green lands. The wheels are completed in Oro Electrum, the color chosen by Lamborghini to be associated with electrification, just like the name itself – Sian means “lightning bolt” in local Bolognese dialect.
In addition to the gorgeous looks, the Sian Roadster features more than one interesting technology. Firstly, its new-design air vents were manufactured using additive manufacturing technology. The 3D printed air vents will allow perfect customization – among other things, the customers will be able to have their initials integrated in the design of this indispensable part of the car.
