When the part is complete this "substrate" can be rinsed off or blown out with compressed air. edit: KapCarl beat me to it, his comment has the answers.

The tiny car will be 3D printed with multi-materials in one shot - no assembly required (different colors, rubber-like tires, etc.). You can learn more about how support material allows you to 3D print moving parts in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmDz7Q9_h6c& I think that's enough links for one comment... Enjoy!

How is it possible? I’m trying to wrap my brain around the idea that a  3-d printer could produce a model car which comes out with spinnable  wheels.   With no further assembly required.

How is it possible?
