See a Nokia Lumia 820 shell being made using a 3D printer

0. phoneArena posted on 04 Mar 2013, 09:45

While the Nokia Lumia 820 lacks many of the fancy features found on the Lumia 920 flagship, such as the PureView tech or the high-definition display, it comes with removable polycarbonate shells available in different colors and finishes. What's more is that one can even make their own unique shell, as long as they have access to a 3D printer and the necessary software. Isn't that awesome? Sure it is, and Nokia didn't miss the chance to demonstrate the 3D printing process during the MWC expo in Barcelona using hardware provided by MakerBot...

"It is a lumia printing u dont see!?"

Printing was made by 3D printer not by Nokia Lumia 920, so about what you are talkinga about???

The nokia lumias cpus are so fast u can us it to communicate with a 3dprinter! :D

10. PhoneArenaUser posted on 04 Mar 2013, 12:00 3 1

It has nothing to do with CPU speed.

12. Nokianhero (banned) posted on 04 Mar 2013, 12:07 6

Yes it has! Try with a Samsung with quad core, it won't work. Nokia is optimizing their processors, thats why lumias is top notch!

14. PhoneArenaUser posted on 04 Mar 2013, 12:10 3

What CPU speed has to do with ability to communicate with other devices?

13. PhoneArenaUser posted on 04 Mar 2013, 12:08 1

Also have you ever heard about Google ADK and Arduino?

In simple words using Google ADK you can connect and control Arduino (programmable microcontroller / prototyping platform) with your Android based device. And using Arduino you can make a lot of things even 3D printer, home automation system and so on and on...

I dont think It will work, nokia is using the latest processors. u can't imagine if ever used a lumia!! They are so fast!

17. PhoneArenaUser posted on 04 Mar 2013, 12:19 3

"I dont think It will work..."

What will work?

Ok, I see that you don't have enough tech knowledge and understanding about what I'm talking about. :)

Thats wrong! Tried my friends android once, but the cpu was so slow it even couldnt take good photos!
Android-manufactures dosent have the latest cpus.
Looking after a video with Eloop, he explains it so u can understand it! Hope I fint it

For example, no android manufacturer would provide you with free 3d models, and that includes samsung with replaceable back covers
