Italian rider completes 4,500 km trip on 3D-printed Piaggio Ape camper

Francesco Furlani has completed a journey of over 4,500 km from Italy to Nordkapp, Norway, in a three-wheeled Piaggio Ape TM 703 fitted with a camper body made entirely through large-format 3D printing. The shell weighs about 70 kg, compared with roughly 200 kg for a fiberglass equivalent, a 130 kg difference that was critical for the vehicle's payload. The CoreLight3D foam material, developed by Nugae, and engineering by DCab enabled a weatherproof and rigid structure despite reduced material volume.
