3D Printed Custom Loudspeakers

Hi, we'd like to present you the loudspeaker project - 3D printed on Zortrax M200 custom speakers created by Zortrax designer. Let's start!

One of our designers needed a fully customized loudspeakers that would fit his flat and car interior, also his requirements concerning the quality of sound. Looking for a perfect model that would meet his needs was rather time-consuming task, so he decided to 3D print the loudspeaker himself. As the time previously devoted for research was saved, he could focus more on the design.

He started from creating a model in a CAD program, then he imported it to the Z-Suite slicing software where he set all the parameters like type of infill, layer thickness, support angle and others. The program displayed the approximate printing time and the filament use.

The model was saved on an SD card and inserted to Zortrax 3D printer so the printing process could start. After printing all the parts the support was removed and the model was ready to be assembled.

The designer inserted all the electrical elements (from the Creative GigaWorks T4) responsible for sound producing and the acoustic foam to provide good sound quality. All the printed elements were screwed together with an allen key so the model was finished.

After putting the parts together the loudspeaker was plugged to the tablet and the music was played to check the sound quality- it was perfect.

The finished product is quite large and has an elegant, mat finish – that is why Z-HIPS was used to obtain this particular type of a surface and ensure durability of large-sized objects.The semi-transparent elements that covered the led lights were printed from Z-GLASS to enable the light to pass through the surface of the element.Z-ULTRAT was used as its properties make it perfect for producing end-use parts with excellent surface quality.
