Stereo lithography is the generic term for creating 3D forms from 2D printing - it's all stereo lith. The original stereo lith used industrial lasers. With the advent of laser printers the technology has been adapted to new grades of plastic. However, the same note above applies - the materials aren't yet suitable for the type of loads we put through our cars. Maybe you could get some body mounts or wing mounts out of it, but not a wishbone.
Hope somone will post some piccies on here of their results.
