British car maker Mini have started 2018 with a bang, offering its Mini Yours personalisation service to customers. This allows customers to personalise their cars with 3D printing and laser engraving. This will undoubtedly inspire Mini fans, who can now equip their car with custom-made pieces.
Mini 3D Printing & the Automobile Industry
In a recent SmarTech study, it was said that 3D printing in the automotive sector will be worth $1.1 billion by 2019. 3D printing will therefore be an increasingly used manufacturing method. 3D printing offers automobile manufacturers the ability to manufacture parts increasingly tailored to individuals’ needs, and faster. Therefore, Mini is offering high levels of customisation with this new service, focused primarily on 3D printing.
You will be able to order customised 3D printed pieces for your Mini, such as this piece with your own city’s skyline.
‘Mini Yours’ service
The Mini Yours service releases in the UK in March 2018. Users will be able to choose from different side decorations, personalised door handles, and LED lights for the doors.
