Nokia To Release Lumia Case Design Files For 3D Printers

Posted by Soulskill on from the making-diy-easier dept.

another random user sends this news from the BBC: "Nokia is releasing design files that will let owners use 3D printers to make their own cases for its Lumia phones. Files containing mechanical drawings, case measurements and recommended materials have already been released by the phone maker. Those using the files will be able to create a custom-designed case for the flagship Lumia 820 handset. The project makes Nokia one of the first big electronics firms to seriously back 3D printing."

    Nokia has sold so few Lumias that the market size for people with 3D printers seems big.

    ...So the 5 people who still own Nokias will be able to print their own phone cases? Brilliant!
