Honda releases 3D data of its concept models for 3D printing

http://www.honda-3d.com/

Honda believes great inventions can spring from seemingly crazy ideas. To share the fun with everyone, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. released 3D data for exterior designs of concept models Honda has introduced in the past, so you can download the designs, reimagine them according to your own personal vision, and share them with the world.

The data is offered based on version 4.0 of Creative Commons licenses which allows you to redistribute or remix the works within the licensing conditions. You can easily download the data from the website "Honda 3D Design Archives," and replicate them using a household 3D printer.

Honda is currently promoting a new global branding project under which Honda's unique approaches and thoughts toward the "art of manufacturing" appeal to a wide range of people. Following the release of a Honda brand commercial film titled "Super ultra daydreams," which debuted at the start of Honda's press conference at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, the release of the 3D data through the "Honda 3D Design Archives" will be the second initiative under this project.

By offering data of its concept models, Honda is hoping to see the emergence of outstanding future automobile designers and engineers from the users who are inspired by this project.
