Nokia To Release Lumia Case Design Files For 3D Printers

[wraggster]

Nokia is releasing design files that will let owners use 3D printers to make their own cases for its Lumia phones (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21084430). Files containing mechanical drawings, case measurements and recommended materials have already been released by the phone maker (http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/01/18/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-lumia-820-and-3d-printing/). 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 (http://slashdot.org/topic/bi/nokia-issues-3d-printing-kit-for-smartphone-cases/).
