Wearing ear buds to play music without disturbing others has already
been assimilated into mainstream culture after doing away with much
larger “headphones.” And wireless ear buds have slowly started to become
more popular, though “wireless” still usually means a wire connecting
the ear buds together. For those wanting music while working out, it can
be a major annoyance having the connecting wire under your chin.
Now reports are out in 3D printing news that a major shift may soon occur in the world of wireless ear buds. It’s a company called Own Phones that just managed to create wireless ear buds from a 3D printer with no wires at all. They resemble earrings, and also have one advantage you can’t get anywhere else: The ear buds are customized.
In the age of 3D printing, creating unique products like this goes to prove how profoundly 3D printing is going to change the world of manufacturing and technology. Will OwnPhones above end up becoming a billion-dollar company all thanks to being able to create something that could only be created on a 3D printer?
The Customization Process
Any tech company making wireless ear buds would have avoided creating ones tailor made to make a fashion statement. That’s because in traditional manufacturing, it would have been far too expensive. Own Phones enables you to take a video of your ear and send it to them so they can customize everything for you. They then print it and ship it immediately to you.
Some of those ear bud designs can be complex and even includes faces and objects meaning something to you personally. While it may look a little eerie in some of the designs, it’s something that couldn’t be done in a traditional manufacturing process. The complexity of the designs are truly amazing.
However, it’s the technology itself you’ll find astounding in being able to create ear buds that aren’t obstructive. 3D printing also enabled these ear buds to change color so it can give a signal to people around you when you can’t hear them. Using the colors of a traffic light, you can let people know if you’re willing to talk or not without having to say a word.
Own Phones also customizes the ear buds to fit the proper size of your ear. Using that video system above for customization, you don’t have to worry about whether the ear buds will fit your ears correctly.
Will Own Phones Own the Ear buds Industry?
Right now, Own Phones is in the Kick starter phase, something many 3D printing projects start out using. Many of them are also successful because of how incredible they are, and there’s every indication Own Phones will make their goals. They’re likely to have competition later, though, in the realm of 3D printed earbuds. Regardless, they’re the first to bring the customization that 3D printing allows while also bringing amazing technology.
The above combination in 3d printing news is going to bring so many more amazing tech products in the very near future. It’s all worth supporting, even if major corporations will likely want to link up with these new indie companies once conglomerates realize how world-changing 3D printing is going to be.
