7.4 - PhoneSkope - Scope-Mountable Phone Cases
Product Details -Great relationship with phonescope to the point that they tell us which phones they want their case adapted to and either they send us a design or we design the case from the ground up. This is a great example for additive manufacturing because phones come out every year so making a mold will only last for a few years before you won’t need it anymore.
