For this week’s edition of Top 5, we have five videos to give you 3D printing inspiration. First, we feature a video from Stratasys on how the company Novel Acoustics experiments with 3D printing to achieve optimal sound design. Then, look at how the Visa Cash App RB Formula One Team uses additive manufacturing to improve brake ducts. Third, find out how you could make your own injection molds with FDM or SLA, and fourth, watch a video about consolidating parts through AM. Lastly, take a peak at a huge storage container printed on a large-format 3D printer from CEAD. These unique applications might spark your next project: see what you’ll discover!

Top 1: 3D Printing a Concept Loud Speaker

Curious about how sound is manipulated? In this video, Boaz Dekel, Co-founder of Novel Acoustics, discusses how he uses 3D printing to benefit acoustics. He designed a concept speaker to demonstrate how both the technology of 3D printing and the needs of acoustics, could be accounted for in the design concept. Find out how he developed the design, why 3D printing benefited the project and further details below:
