PostNord actively explores the possibilities of new disruptive technology and one identified area is to make the 3D market more accessible for both consumers and businesses. A first step is to enable consumers to, in an easy way, get their personalized 3D models printed directly from the Sony Mobile app 3D Creator, and distributed by PostNord.

This enables PostNord to leverage on the expertise of one of the most well-known global technology enterprises, while Sony Mobile can leverage on PostNords knowledge in the logistics and communications market as well as their diverse customer base.
