DEEPTIME Limited is a relatively new speakers’ manufacturer based in the Czech Republic. They previously revealed the world’s first speakers 3D printed from wooden composite. Still innovating in terms of design and technology, they have just revealed their new audio system that has been 3D printed from sand. They’ve named this limited edition product, the Ionic Sound System. However, they are not the first to 3D print speakers, we reported a few months back on the OWA Speaker unveiled at CES 2018.

The design and technology studio behind this sound system was set up in the Czech Republic by Martin Hreben and Andrej Chotovinsky. Both founders believe that their product will appeal not only to audiophiles but also design fanatics. In fact, Ionic Sound System combines organic design and innovative use of industrial 3D printing technology.

Apparently, DEEPTIME’s technological process turns sand prints into airtight and resonance-free builds, using custom made hardeners and pigments. DEEPTIME says it mimics sandstone and is acoustic friendly. Also, every speaker is made from a single piece with no visible splits lines or bolts holding the organically shaped enclosures together.
