MILANO DESIGN WEEK 2018 Audiology meets product design

DamA at Milan Design Week 2018 hosts a concept of customizable earphones for each specific ear , an idea
developed by 3DiTALY in collaboration with Formlabs, AT Studio and LiveZoneR41.

The product consists of three different parts developed by different players.
The part that is inserted into the ear is made by 3DiTALY technicians. The perfect fit is guaranteed by the 3D
scan of the human auricle.
The external part is a design product signed by the famous designers Arturo Tedeschi and Cristian Li Voi (AT
Studio) . The product design is striking for its elegant aesthetic lines, which make it a fashion design accessory,
as well as a "wereable" supplement of the human body.
The resulting components are then printed in 3D with special biocompatible resins, using the Formlabs Form2
3d printer. Formlabs Form2 is perfect for this purpose. It is in fact the best tool currently on the market for the
rendering of such fine details.
These two parts make up the casing of professional earphones , produced by LiveZoneR41 , an Italian
company specialized in the manufacture of customized audio systems for pro-audiophiles.

During the event an interactive performance will take place with the public.Participants signed for the event via EventBrite will be able to receive a cast of their own auricle realized live by 3DiTALY technicians. They will can then order their own customized earbuds.
The production of a personalized headset will also be assigned as a prize to one of the participants in the event
by drawing lots.

Each ear is unique. And the earphones should be too. For this reason 3DiTALY is developing fully customizable
3D printed earbuds . A way to struck to chord the same way art lovers, fashionistas and audiophiles. Innovative
earphones that have been designed to give users untangled freedom and sleek comfort. 3DiTALY, in
collaboration with Formlabs, AT Studio e LiveZone41, combines the latest audio technology with ergonomic
design solutions to give users the power to control and manage their daily digital lifestyle. A perfect fit of
earphones is important for an audiophile and for a professional musician. A 3D printed product made from
Formlabs materials guarantees ergonomic comfort with a secure fit. Thanks to the 3D scan you have a 3D
printed product that fits perfectly to the ear. Everyone has different tastes and 3DiTALY with its partners wants
you to embrace them and express them.

The project will be presented in the DamA spaces during the Milan Design Week.
