Great phones ask for great covers
Your own unique cover in 1 2 3 ( 4 5)
Look what our friends Jonas and Daaf from Samson design studio have created. Yourkees allows you to create unique and awesome looking iPhone covers.
You are able to build your own KEES (Dutch for ‘Case’) by combining a side bumper with two back layers. These layers can be selected in two libraries. The first one is filled with 3D structures; the second one is filled with beautiful images of –mostly everyday- objects. The magic happens when you see the combination of both. As if that is wasn’t enough, you can also add your own piece of text on the cover AND select different material options! Some of the covers have a very special velvet look, of which you will soon hear more on our blog.
i.materialise is proud to work together as production partner for these guys. We see many great 3D printed covers passing by, but the configurator they have developed allows everyone to create cool designs with a unique touch
Meet the Designer: Josh Henry
Not too long ago, we received an order at i.materialise to 3D print some pretty big transparent pieces. Our curiosity kicked in and we decided to contact the designer to find out what these transparent parts were for. To our surprise, Josh revealed to us that it was for his magnificent Ula Miami Concept Car that he was developing at the University of Cincinnati. As soon as knew that, we didn’t hesitate a second and contacted him for an interview.
Here’s what our friend Josh had to say…

Car design for me is really about creating a product with emotion. Creating a life, or a character if you will. Thinking about the interaction between a person and a vehicle and that emotional attachment that one has with the vehicle. These are things that fas
Stories from our latest Meetup
Last Friday we had a very successful meetup at i.materialise. We got to meet some of our community members and got to hear their stories first hand. We provided them with a presentation about our services and a guided tour of the facilities where they did (as promised) get to see about 60+ printers. We were also very excited to find people flying in from as far as Sweden or Slovenia to attend this meetup. Now that’s what I call passionate community members!
The attendees ranged from university students, to working professionals, to independent business owners and to accommodate them, we made sure to have a big part of our staff at their disposal. Questions got asked and answers were provided. It was the ideal way for us to interact with our community.
I must say that we were very satisfied with the results of our first meetup and we can only hope that our attendees enjoyed themselves as much as we did. If you are reading this and think to yourself “I wish I could have bee
