Abstract
Additive Manufacturing (AM) affords the production of complex geometries for acoustic research. The rapid materialization of parametric models facilitates the practical comparison of related sounding or sound-filtering objects. This accelerated fabrication cycle continues our field's tradition of establishing and demonstrating results through making, with applications in structural acoustics (metamaterials), architectural acoustics (diffuser design) and musical acoustics (instrument design). This talk focuses on applications of AM in musical acoustics: the replication of known instrument geometries, the precise transformation of those geometries in order to test predictions, and explorations of the musicality of neighboring forms. Results, limitations and future prospects are considered.
