The Cabrio Collection by Hoet Design Studio

As a pioneer in eyewear design, Hoet Design Studio is constantly challenged to design solutions that create a better equilibrium between esthetics, functionality, technology and economics. For their Cabrio collection, they ran into design constraints that conventional technologies weren’t able to solve. Therefore Bieke Hoet turned to Materialise to explore the possibilities of using 3D Printing to overcome these limitations.

Optimizing a Nokia Lumia 820 Cover for 3D Printing

Nokia recently came out in support of 3D Printing by challenging the public to personalize and 3D print their own cases for the Nokia Lumia 820. Although 3D printed phone cases are nothing new (for example, you can get personalized iPhone cases here), this is the first time that a phone manufacturer has released the schematics for a cover so that it can be customized and printed by the public. The team at Materialise’s consumer service, i.materialise, was so excited about Nokia’s initiative that they ran to the store, picked up a Nokia Lumia 820, downloaded the schematic, and started printing.
