Turning a jigsaw puzzle into a mobile phone – Project Ara


Project Ara is one of the extra ordinary piece of engineering and the predict gurus say that the future of mobile phones is going to change. 3D Systems is working extensively on the Project Ara which is in collaboration with Google and it can be expected as the big thing in the mobile technology.

The Project Ara will completely change the experience of buying and selling the mobile phone and it is expected that you will be selecting a few modules when you buy the phone and can assemble it like a jigsaw puzzle. These modules can be the battery, speaker, camera and the display of the phone. The phones that Project Ara is developing would have each frame for these modules and is called the endoskeleton. 

These different modules can be slided into the phone with the help of magnets and they will have different materials like the aluminum base, the PCB, safety shield that protects the PCB and the shell. These shells are closely associated with 3D systems as they are printed with the help of 3D printers and new printers are on the way of getting developed which could focus on the mass production. These shells helps the phones a personalized as per the like of every individual. These shells can truly make your phone look great which can represent you as an individual. Google is working on the Ara application which is an Android application which is used to personalize your Ara phones and is developed by the 3D systems. The Project Ara still in the development phase seems very exciting and the tech lovers are indeed waiting for the Ara developed phones which could be the glimpse of the future phones and hopefully revolutionize the mobile phone industry.
