A digital workflow for designing tailored 3D printed acoustic panels Professional Additive Manufacturing

by Consumer

Acoustics play an integral role in how humans experience a space, whether it’s a concert arena, restaurant or even their own home.

The acoustic panels of the future, however, could very well be crafted using 3D printing.
