If you have one of the consumer metal printers and a consumer plastic printer, it means you can print your own car parts from aluminum, iron, or lower carbon steel pellets, and all the trim with the plastic printer.
Congratulations, you have a body shop, and an example car.
Getting ahold of the original specifications becomes the biggest challenge at that point, so that you can manufacture the parts within tolerance.

How does it get to the right temperatures??
What? The printer? They use metal pellets and AFAIK, you program the printer to heat an induction coil to melt the pellets.
Yes. Very cool. Thanks for the explanation.
