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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-sliding-system). 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."
