The Lumia 920 may have received most of the praise this holiday season as a flagship Windows Phone 8 device but its younger cousin the Lumia 820 can still hold its own. One of the selling points of the mid-range Nokia Lumia 820 are its interchangeable back covers that come in a multitude of colors and some even bring additional features such as shock and dust protection or wireless charging, Neowin reports.
Until now these cases were supplied by Nokia and users could buy them from the shop but this might change in the near future. Nokia has just announced that they are launching what they are calling the 3DK. The 3D-printing Development Kit includes the schematics needed to 3D print a Lumia 820 back cover. So now any 3D printing enthusiast can customize and create their very own, very unique, 820 back plate.
Nokia has made this move because they believe that 3D printing has the potential “to utterly transform our lives” and they see a great future for the technology.
