Paragami: How to make your own ACOUSTIC ABSORBER - DIY 3D WALL ART / 3D Printed Sound absorber
MAKE YOUR OWN SOUND ABSORBER / 3D Parametric Design / Paragami TemplatesHere’s an idea for creating DIY 3D-printed sound-absorbing art! This is just a prototype, and I made a few mistakes along the way, so be sure to watch until the end to avoid them yourself! For this project, I designed a new template inspired by sea corals. The organic shapes and ellipses should pair beautifully with the foam bubbles we’ll add later.
--------------------------------------------
What you will need:
• Paragami Template - 3D model export
➜ https://www.paragami.com/3D➜ https://www.paragami.com/10_04_3D
• 3D Printer / PLA
• Protective equipment / Gloves, Respirator
• Sandpaper / Grinding Tools
• Filler Spray
• Colour Spray / Stone Look Paint
• Low-Expansive Flexible Acoustic Construction Polyurethane Foam / Ceresit WhiteTeq, Den Braven Elastic 3D White, Soudal Flexi Foam, ...)
• Backboard / Chipboard (or Kapa foam, Plywood, Wood, MDF, Extruded Polystyrene, ...)
• Blade, knife, cutting mat
• Tools and Paint for painting the board / Beige Colour, Painting Roller..)
• Anchor Rings & Screws
• Adhesive / Pattex Transparent

Yes, this upgrade works with previous designs. Since the templates were originally made for paper folding, they have flat sides, so you can turn them into sound absorbers. This works especially well with the designs that use truncated blocks. I’ll show you how to do it in the next video!
