Philips is launching a new program called Fixables, where it will make plans available so that customers can 3D print replacement parts for the company's personal care products.

On the website for the Fixables program (which is in Czech), Philips explains that it's starting with the home country for Prusa Research and it is reaching out to the 3D printing company's existing maker community for this project.
