A movie that actually reproduces the record output by the 3D printer

ByCamerakarrie

Unlike ordinary printers, 3D printers can model and output three-dimensional objects based on input data. So, if you made a record with a 3D printer, is it even possible to play the player properly? There is a person who actually tried this.

The CD is made of plastic, reads the fine indentations carved on the disc by applying laser light, converts it into signals, data and sound. In the case of a record, I put a needle directly on the disc, read the groove carved on the disc, and convert that information into a sound.

Therefore, if you can shape the groove exactly with a 3D printer, it was made by being able to make a proper record. Because it is transparent, it looks like a sono sheet rather than a record.

Actually prepare players.


Set the record ......


Drop the needle ...


Start playback. I was able to listen to a music box style music properly.


In the movie below you can see from actually making records with a 3D printer.

It is a blank media that you get. There is nothing written yet.


Put this in the machine.


Then the groove will be dug.


I will put this on the player.


The record may be slightly distorted, but the distortion of this disc is considerable.


You can use it even on a PC drive!


Unfortunately, in the latter movie seems to be inserting BGM afterwards, unfortunately I do not know exactly what kind of sound can be heard ... .... At least, because there is no technical problem, we may be able to sell CAD data for 3D printer output instead of download sales of music data for those who stick to the sound quality.
