Observation

Both target groups for VW ID Buzz have something very basic in common - they travel inside it. Either through the busy city or around the countryside, people move with the vehicle. What if a fully 3D printed object can be offered, one that suits everyone's needs and cover many possible use cases? What if it's relatively cheap and easy to produce, allow for customization and its modularity is a big factor in fulfilling many applications? Glimpse at printable materials linked inside 3rd parties.

Conclusion

MMCG is a 3D printed object which aims to be a-must-have for VW ID Buzz owners! That's the goal. For this to happen, its features have to convince both target groups that they can rely on it and find an useful application. VW will have a great item to offer, either as stock equipment or additional purchase, while making customers happy about owning it. It's a win win! Eventually MMCG might become desirable for other target groups as well, which opens a lot of commercial opportunities.
