3D-Printed Car Storage Inserts

Peugeot Developed Storage Inserts for its 308 Models

— March 29, 2022 — Autos
Peugeot, a French automobile brand known for its unique catalog of well-made cars, launched a series of flexible storage inserts for its 308 car models. The inserts are 3D-printed from flexible filament using innovative printing technology. The 308 series is an update on the brand's 30008 SUV, which features a smaller and sportier look with additional storage aspects.

The storage compartments include sunglasses holders, cup holders, and phone and cardholders. Each storage insert fits into the 308's center console. Peugeot teamed up with HP Inc, Mader, and ERPRO to 3D-print the line of accessories using the new HP Multi Jet Fusion printer technology. The goal is to "make accessories more visible and attractive by innovating and using modern materials."
