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.
Like most architects, the twelve Yale students in Peter Eisenman and Matt Roman’s spring 2012 Piranesi seminar were inspired and puzzled by a series of etchings of ancient Rome that dated back more than two centuries.
