Several companies have come out with what they call "3D-printed" cars,
but
none have 3D-printed the most important part, the engine.

This would be difficult to do with an internal combustion engine, with
its
high temperatures, multiple moving parts, and high tolerances.


Difficult, but not impossible. NASA has done 3-d printing of rocket
combustion chambers.


Cite? I don't believe that's true.
