Nuraphone wanted to create headphones that automatically adapt to each user’s hearing profile. However, the internal components and ear moulds required complex, low volume parts

3D Printing overcomes the ergonomic and design challenges while enabling low volume production without the high upfront costs of traditional tooling.

The flexibility of FDM / SLA printing allowed for rapid prototyping as well quick design interations; Essential after real world comfort, fit and usability trials.

All of this contributes towards allowing businesses to get their products to market quicker

- Physical iterations are essential, affordable 3D printing makes them possible
