OWA 3D have just launched their Kickstarter campaign for their DOT project which they also presented at CES 2018 in Las Vegas. This collaboration between 5 French companies led to the creation of the first customisable Bluetooth 3D printed speaker, called the OWA Speaker. This project is focused on creating a well-designed product for high-quality music whilst supporting a circular economy.
The project originates with Armor 3D, a manufacturer of recycled & recyclable 3D printer filaments. Other parties involved include FDM 3D printer manufacturer Dood, studio Bold Design, TechShop Leroy Merlin, and Sector.
Unlike most speakers, the OWA 3D speaker includes a tough-activated light.
OWA Speaker: An Innovative and Environmentally Responsible Speaker
Each of the collaborating companies used their unique expertise to develop the OWA Bluetooth speaker. This includes light and wake-up functions, and a dawn simulator via an app. Sector took care of the electronic system, whilst Dood provided the 3D printers hosted in the TechShop, Bold Design designed the product, and Armor 3D procured the filaments.
