Case Study: Arash Motor Company accelerates electric hypercar development with MakerBot METHOD X

Building the Next Electric Hypercar With Passion, Innovation, and Additive Manufacturing

Arash Motor Company, a boutique maker of high-performance hypercars led by founder Arash Farboud, faced the challenge of developing a next-generation electric hypercar with complex, lightweight components in low volumes while avoiding lengthy, costly machining and outsourced fabrication. To meet tight accuracy and production requirements they turned to MakerBot hardware, including the METHOD X (alongside their Replicator 2 and Z18) for in-house prototyping and production-grade 3D printing.

MakerBot’s METHOD X workflow—using Nylon Carbon Fiber, ABS, and Tough materials plus MakerBot CloudPrint for print management—allowed Arash Motor Company to produce real, testable parts (brackets, gears, wing and structural components) quickly and accurately. The result: faster iteration, reduced outsourcing and machining, ongoing 24/7 production use of printers, and a compressed development timeline from a typical 3–4 years to about 12 months, while moving toward a target of 95%+ composite content in the vehicle.
