About Project

Meet Nomi, the world鈥檚 first in-car AI system with a physical “soul,” found in NIO electric vehicles. Positioned right on the dashboard, Nomi isn鈥檛 just a voice assistant; it鈥檚 a companion. With its circular AMOLED screen and motorized “head,” Nomi can tilt to face you when you speak, nod along to your music, and even “wave” to passengers. Its digital face is capable of hundreds of expressions鈥攆rom a sleepy yawn when you鈥檝e been driving too long to a cheerful grin when you enter the car.

But for many NIO owners, a factory-standard Nomi isn鈥檛 enough. To truly make their cars feel like home, owners are turning to custom “outfits” for their digital buddies. A viral trend among the community is the Labubu headgear, inspired by the popular Pop Mart character. These 3D-printed accessories fit perfectly over Nomi鈥檚 spherical head, giving it a fluffy, whimsical look with iconic long rabbit ears, all while ensuring the screen remains clear and the rotation stays smooth. Seeing Nomi peek out from a baby-blue Labubu hood adds a layer of personality that turns a high-tech machine into a lovable family member.

Solution

• Step 1: The digital 3D model of the Labubu-style headgear was meticulously designed in CAD software to ensure the inner diameter perfectly matched the dimensions of the Nomi device.
• Step 2: The completed design was imported into slicing software, where optimal print orientations and necessary support structures were generated to maintain the overhanging ear shapes.
• Step 3: A high-quality FDM 3D printer was loaded with premium PLA filament, and the printing parameters were calibrated for fine layer resolution to capture the “furry” texture.
• Step 4: The object was built layer-by-layer on the heated print bed, with the internal cavity carefully monitored for structural integrity.
• Step 5: Once the printing process was finalized, the part was removed from the build plate, and the support materials were delicately detached by hand.
• Step 6: The exterior surfaces were lightly sanded to remove minor artifacts, and the contrasting ear inserts were painted or inlaid to achieve the iconic two-tone Labubu aesthetic.
• Step 7: A final fitment test was performed on a Nomi unit to ensure that the motorized rotation of the AI avatar was not obstructed by the new accessory.
