Interview with DEEPTIME about their 3D printed speakers from sand

Not long ago we covered the story of the world’s first 3D printed speakers from sand launched by the startup DEEPTIME. The startup is a design and tech studio based in Prague that integrates innovative design with 3D technologies to offer unique sound systems. We had the pleasure to speak with the two founders, Ondrej Chotovinsky and Martin Hreben about their inspiration behind their latest Ionic Sound System and their use of the 3D printing technology.

3DN: Could you present yourself and tell us a bit more about DEEPTIME?

Martin Hreben: We hoped to put all we learned working in the automotive and product design industries into good use and of course learnt some more along the way through mistakes. Back then, we already had some serious design and engineering experience with us. I worked in the Research & Development of Skoda Auto for over 7 years, while Ondrej getting his hands on projects for companies like Aston Martin, McLaren, Honda, Airbus; it is a long list. So, we knew our way around prototyping and developing products for high niche markets.
