Toyota’s new concept comes with a 3D-printed dash

Toyota’s thinking past the millennials and into the next generation a.k.a. “generation Z” with its new concept. The uBox has been made in collaboration with graduate students of Clemson University’s International Center for Automotive Research to teach the students about the ins and outs of car design and manufacturing. And while it won’t become a production car, we could see some of the integrated technologies make its way in future Toyota vehicles.

What is so special about the uBox? It has a customizable dash thanks to 3D printing. You can customize things like vents, dashboard display fixtures, door trims, and the like. It even has a curved glass roof and 110-volt sockets inside and outside so you can have it power your electronics, too. Talk about speaking to the next generation.
