Autodesk和LumiGeek合作建立了真正独特的3D印刷扬声器，展示了出色的设计工作和掌握听众的LED系统。Lumigeek是专门针对LED开发套件的Arduino兼容的微控制器的新来者。创始人约翰·泰勒（John Taylor）和Autodesk的应用创新工程师埃文·阿瑟顿（Evan Atherton）合作展示了3D打印的出色应用。
[nggallery id=75]扬声器是在Objet Connex 5003D printer, which is able to print multi-materials seamlessly, making it possible to print out the unique shape, which features a web of flexible black material with hard translucent plastic interspersed on the grid. The end design is an aesthetically pleasing round object, which lights up according to the rhythm of the music. The consumed materials cost $2,200, making the price ‘slightly steep’ for the average consumer.
不幸的是，下面的视频并不能使声音质量公正，而是让他们感到这是真正的交易。
Autodesk’s Atherton 3D printed several prototypes, testing out his idea, and tried placing an LED light in one of them. Being impressed with how the light scattered within the material, he decided to contact LumiGeek to try their new standalone audioreactive tool. The tool, which hasn’t been released commercially yet, is an Arduino-compatible microcontroller allowing users to define the actions of an LED strip or other visual output as represented by an audio file. The tool is also Bluetooth programmable.
“The world hasn’t seen this before,” says Taylor, who is putting together a Kickstarter campaign with co-founder Joe Martin to get the light controlling boards, their initial product, off the ground. And while the speakers won’t be available to purchase, the top pledger could even see a similar pair of the speakers as his or her reward.
泰勒说：“我们正在做的是在这里播放视频。”但是该视频首先被分解为像素以超低分辨率在LED上运行，然后通过扬声器的每个透明支柱进一步扩散。
