Researchers 3D print a fully functional loudspeaker

When it comes to creating parts, 3D printing is on the rise.

But could an integrated system be created with 3D printing?

Well, as researchers at Cornell University in New Yorkhave just demonstrated, yes.

For the speaker housing, the team used the usual plastic material.

The conductive coil was printed using a silver ink.

“It’s a little bit like a colour printer,” Lipson said.
