The feature of a foldable car is that it can be designed to move several parts without assembly. Moving structures of existing car models are adding new structures one by one to implement in foldable design. The foldable van designed this time has realized two new moves with another new challenge.
First, we realized the rear door of the hinged type. Though the hinges are somewhat exposed, the actual hinges are also visible, so this design is not much different from the actual one.
Secondly, we recreated the sliding side door movement. This structure is the first structure made in 3D printing design, and there will be various uses for foldable design in the future.

The Ford E series refers to a series of van cars manufactured by Ford since 1960. The design of the fourth generation has been produced so far, and the chosen one as a foldable van is the second generation design. The second-generation Ford Econoline van was produced from 1968 to 1974.

The reason for choosing this car as the first foldable van is because it has emerged as an important role in the films Ant-man and Wasp (2018) and Avengers End game (2019).

Feel the new joy of 3D printing while remembering the innovative new structure of the foldable design and the memories of the movie.
