# Sound Vibration Pottery These Clay Pots at 3D-Printed with the Addition of Sound Wave Details By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-02-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clay-pot References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/sound-vibration-ceramic-3d-printing-creates-unique-results-09-02-2016/) & [vimeo](https://vimeo.com/studiovanbroekhoven) The process of placing a [powerful speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhapsody) beneath a 3D printer bed during the creation of a clay pot results in some seriously interesting results, as seen here. A method of [printing ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texttoclay) created by designers Olivier van Herpt and Studio Van Broekhoven, the process sees each creation taking on the physical shape of musical tones. Design was changed forever with the advent of [3D printing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-concept), which provides designers and makers alike the ability to create something in an instant. However, because hands aren't physically used to create the items, a certain robotic characteristic is almost always present. As such, this incorporation of sound waves into the creation of a clay pot helps to add character, depth and a story to each creation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sound Wave Printing:** The integration of sound waves during the printing process could introduce a new level of detail and customization to 3D printed objects. - **Musical Tones Ceramics:** The use of sound vibrations to shape clay objects could create a new market for unique and personalized home decor items. - **Sonic Sculpting:** The application of sound technology in 3D printing could lead to innovative new forms of sculpting and art creation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Ceramics Manufacturing:** Incorporating sound wave technology could transform the traditional ceramics industry by enabling greater design flexibility and product differentiation. - **Home Decor:** Sound wave pottery and ceramics could appeal to a niche market of consumers looking for unique and personalized home accents and accessories. - **Art and Sculpture:** The application of sound wave technology in sculpture could inspire a new era of artistic expression and experimentation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited 3D-Printed Ceramic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyadic-series.md) - [Nature-Inspired 3D-Printed Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drag-and-drop.md) - [Textural Porcelain Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamara-efrat.md) - [3D-Printed Ceramic Home Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-house.md) - [3D-Printed Terracotta Cooler Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimcry-3dprinted-terracotta-cooler.md) - [3D-Printed Ceramic Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terramound.md) - [3D-Printed Tiled Ceramic Archways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delft-blue.md) - [Sculpted Ceramic Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mios.md) - [Algorithmic Ceramic Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texture-ware.md)
