The Dodecahedron Speaker is a DIY 3D-Printed Project

— June 13, 2012 — Art & Design
The Dodecahedron Speaker may look like a strange pendant lamp, but that's because it is no lamp at all but a suspended sound system in a spherical form. Comprised of twelve speakers, the Dodecahedron Speaker provides omnidirectional sound that will get the party started in no time. The kicker? It is a do-it-yourself project that requires a 3D printer to create. Of course, this is a much more affordable option than existing ones currently on the market.

Shared by Instructables user Sean Ragan, a detailed guide shows people how to create a Dodecahedron Speaker for themselves. Made out of four different parts (face modules, vertex plugs, edge gaskets and bezels), it is relatively easy to make.

Trend Themes

  1. 3d-printed Speakers — A growing trend of DIY sound systems created through 3D printing technology
  2. Omnidirectional Sound Systems — An increasing demand for speakers that provide high-quality sound from every angle
  3. Affordable Sound Systems — A rising trend in creating low-cost, personalized sound equipment

Industry Implications

  1. Consumer Electronics — Opportunity to disrupt the conventional consumer tech industry with easily customizable, low-cost sound systems
  2. Home Decor — Opportunity to introduce multifunctional decor items such as unique lamps that double up as sound systems
  3. Audio Technology — Opportunity to innovate new sound technologies that offer 360-degree sound and can be easily assembled using 3D printing
