These Peugeot 3D-printed car accessories have been developed by the France-based automotive brand as a series of storage inserts for its 308 models to provide drivers with enhanced storage capabilities. The accessories were designed and created by Peugeot's Design, Product and Research & Development teams as a supplemental solution for vehicles to customize the interior of the car cabin. The brand worked in collaboration with HP Inch., Mäder and ERPRO to utilize the HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing technology to help format and produce the accessories.
The Peugeot 3D-printed car accessories are constructed out of Thermoplastic Polyurethane or Ultrasint TPU to give them durability as well as flexibility for easy placement into the car interior. The accessories can thus be simply positioned into the existing cup holder for keeping smartphones or other essentials within reach.
