Aptera Motors Uses Modix 3D Printers to accelerate the development of their innovative vehicle.
The Company
Aptera Motors, founded by passionate individuals in California, is fervently dedicated to forging a sustainable transportation future. Leading the charge in innovation, they are not only transforming the landscape of automotive design but are also establishing new standards for vehicle efficiency. Their innovative car can travel up to 1,000 miles on a single charge and it is capable of up to 40 miles of solar powered driving per day. With a rapidly growing customer base and garnering global attention, Aptera is uniquely positioned to spearhead the green mobility revolution.
The Challenge
Aptera Motors faced several challenges in the development of its Alpha vehicle builds. One challenge was the need to create complex parts quickly in house. Another challenge was that as a startup, Aptera’s budget was tight and needed to be spent wisely.
“We’re up to 44,000 orders for our vehicles now and pushing towards first production next summer. It has all happened with Modix’s help,” said Chris Anthony, CEO of Aptera Motors. “Modix printers have given us the flexibility, speed, and precision we need to bring our vision to life.”
