Saturday
With the rapid development of science and technology, two years ago, the first 3D-printing car Strati turned up in Chicago of USA. After two years’ gestation, nowadays, some carmakers declaim that they could provide 3D-printing customized automobile parts for consumers.
随着科技发展迅猛，两年前世界上第一辆3D打印汽车Strati在美国芝加哥问世。经过两年的酝酿期后，目前已经有汽车制造商宣布将为客户提供3D定制化零配件服务。
Indeed, 3D-printing has created another milestone. At the meanwhile, it brings to car owners with more modest budgets. And they can customize their cars like the rich. Feeling that a breath of new popular culture will hit us. In the future, the 3D-printing customized automobiles will develop a shaft of brilliant scenery on the road.
3D打印确实是再创里程碑。同时，这项定制化服务使得预算有限的车主也能像富人们一样定制自己的座驾。感觉，一股新流行文化的气息将会袭来。未来，3D定制化汽车将变成道路上一道亮丽的风景。
Previously, car buyers got used to choose from a list of standard accessories. On the contrary, nowadays, people are increasingly pursuing for the publicity of their own personalities. Many car owners tend to adopt unique accessories which could display their temperaments and tastes.
以前，车主们习惯在一系列标准化的配饰中挑挑选选。而现在大家越来越追求个性的张扬。很多车主们都倾向于挑选独一无二的配饰，从而彰显自己的气质与品位。
As reported, buyers could select among manufacturers’ offered designs. Besides, they can use a website to optimize the designs further to accomplish exactly the appearances they expect. And the outcomes are then stuck on the front and rear of car bodies.
据说，车主们除了可以在厂家提供的设计中选择，还可以通过在网上进一步完善他们的设计，从而达到他们预期的效果。这些东西打印出来后可以直接贴在车身前后。
Working with software, instead of any wood or metal when processing, changes can be made easily and cheaply through 3D-printing. On the contrary, traditional machine tools used in mass-production factories make design alterations expensive and slow.
3D打印通过软件操作，无需在木板或者金属板上作业，所以设计更改简单又廉价；相反的是，用于大批量生产工厂的传统机床使得设计变更既花费高昂而且速度慢耗时久。
In daily life, 3D-printing has penetrated into all sorts of trades. Airlines have already used it for customized parts. Moreover, specialized parts are 3D-printed for racing cars too.
现实生活中，3D打印已经渗透各种行业。航空航天工业早已开始使用3D打印来定制配件。赛车也使用了3D打印的专门配件。
Maybe, one day, your house is crowded with all 3D-printing products. The era of 3D-printing is coming, and it is a trend which cannot be halted!
或许，某一天，你家里面全部都是通过3D打印制造的物品。3D打印的时代来了，势不可挡！
