Parametric sound absorbing structures that you can 3D print

In plain words

This project provides designs for sound-absorbing structures that can be custom-made using 3D printing. The parametric approach allows users to adjust dimensions and shapes to fit their specific spaces and acoustic needs. Intended for makers, designers, and anyone seeking to reduce noise in rooms or studios, the structures work by breaking up sound waves through their geometric patterns. The designs are available on GitHub, making them accessible for DIY construction with a 3D printer.

  I built a synthesizer based on 3D physics2025 · anukari.com · ▲512

  I've been working on the Anukari 3D Physics Synthesizer for a little over two years now. It's one of the earliest virtual instruments to rely on the GPU for audio processing, which has been incredibly challenging and fun. In the end, predictably, the GUI for manipulating the 3D system actually ended up being a lot more work than the physics simulation. So far I am only selling it direct on my website, which seems to be working well. I hope to turn it into a sustainable business, and ideally I'd have enough revenue to hire folks to help with it. So far it's been 99% a solo project, with…
