70kg vs 200kg: How a Printed Foam Shell Made an Ape Camper Road-Trip Possible

Italian rider Francesco Furlani has completed over 4,500-kilometer journey from Italy to Nordkapp, Norway’s North Cape, driving a three-wheeled Piaggio Ape TM 703 fitted with a camper body built entirely through large-format 3D printing. The shell weighs around 70 kilograms, compared with roughly 200 kilograms for a comparable fiberglass structure, a 130-kilogram difference that determined…
