Nokia with 3D printing

Nokia lets customers build custom Lumia 820 cases

The company is releasing 3D templates, case specs, and recommended materials to allow Lumia 820 owners to build their own cases, with help from a 3D printer.


3D printers are by no means ubiquitous, and can cost several thousand dollars. 


In a blog post today, Nokia community and developer marketing manager John Kneeland said that his company is focusing heavily on 3D printing because of its belief that it's the future of the technology industry.

"My own view is that the hype is justified, and that 3D printing is indeed A Very Big Deal," Kneeland said. "I don't think it's an exaggeration to call it the sequel to the Industrial Revolution.  

Nokia's 3DK files giving case designers the specs they need are available for free on the company's Web site.
