3D printing news Automotive & Transport Škoda Publishes 3D Files to Personalize Your Car
If you drive a Škoda, you’re in luck! The Czech automotive manuufacturer recently shared a collection of 3D files for personalizing its vehicle interiors. The models include things like a USB cable holder and a coin organizer, and are designed to help drivers keep their cars tidy. Škoda has used additive manufacturing since 1997. The company first used 3D technologies to produce prototypes and has since expanded their applications.
In 2025, Škoda opened a dedicated center equipped with 14 industrial machines and two desktop printers. The company now has in-house capabilities in 4 technologies: fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA), Multi Jet Fusion and PolyJet. This helps it improve productivity.
A 3D printed organizer
Martin Sova is the coordinator of the 3D Printing Competence Centre within the Technical Development department. He explained: “Using 3D printing saves us a considerable amount of time. And since all data remains within the company, this approach also offers enhanced confidentiality.”
Škoda has released little information about its additive manufacturing projects. The company has now published several 3D files on the Printables platform to let customers personalize their vehicle interiors.
The 3D files mainly cover storage and organization accessories
3D Files for Personalizing Your Škoda
So far, Škoda has shared 10 3D models. Some are compatible with all of its cars, while others are designed only for the Škoda Peaq, Epiq or Fabia IV. The collection includes storage compartments, a phone holder, a cup holder and an organizer for the lower console. The parts are storage accessories designed to be easy to print.
Similar projects have appeared in the 3D printing sector before. Ford released several 3D files for custom interior parts for its Maverick. Peugeot had also worked on a range of 3D accessories for its 308, although without going that far. Škoda is joining this “movement” because the demand is there, and consumers want personalization. With 3D printing, the customization options are endless.
The 3D files mainly cover storage and organization accessories
Škoda joined Printables in 2024. It was the first automaker on the platform and initially participated in a contest offering scale models of its cars as prizes. The Czech company had already adopted a culture of sharing. The team may share more models soon. You can find the accessory collection here.
