- Back in 2015 I released a video about 3d printing and it's use for custom car audio. At the time many were skeptical citing that printing took too long and the materials weren't practical. Fast forward to today and now shops and enthusiasts around the country are using 3d printing to make parts for custom car audio builds. The next big technological leap for car audio? 3D Scanning. Made possible by precision 3d scanners being more affordable this is a trend you will want to get in on early and start learning now.

A video on using this thing would be epic if you do ever get the time for it. This thing looks super useful for more than just custom car audio, and I like that! Thanks for showing this off!
It definitely can be used in a whole bunch of applications. The technology will only get better!
That initial trunk scan looked amazingly complete... No gaps, actual depth and everything. Wild! Please make the video for the device... Never seen a scan so clean in a single pass. That was awesome!
Yes! We would love an in-depth video on the 3D Scanner and why you chose that one over other ones available on the market. Maybe a series of videos from scanning to making and fitting the project.
Would be cool if there was a community to share scans. Then you could use someone else’s scan to design an enclosure when they order from you.
I also think a great advantage for a shop is being able to create a "catalog" of various vehicles for future use and design work. This would make each subsequent customers' work that much more efficient.
Great point! Yeah, as long as the same model vehicle is being installed into you could avoid the whole scan process and have stuff ready to go ahead of time!
Very cool. There are so many other things as car enthusiast in general that it can be used for. Engine swaps, custom subframes and oil pans. A lot of parts and pieces now have 3d models available. If you have a CNC routing table, you can do a complex wood box design and hit send.
Hey Mark, this looks super interesting. I’m sure there are other tutorials out there, but if you ever get the time I’d love to see your take on an intro video to this stuff. 3D scanning, 3D Design, etc. I’m intrigued by it all and would definitely check that out if you ever made it!
Game changer for workflow around the shop, cheers Mark🙌🏼
Food for thought, and my own personal prediction: as I was literally thinking of this for multiple reasons.
Say you capture the door panel and frame,
(If we were to go one step further bear with me please)
We use the A.I Performance of Nvidia RTX Tensor, AMD Ryzen 8000, Intel 15th gen. With their A.I accelerator silicon.
You have the 3D scans, and we have A.I. accelerators from custom baffles for in door tuning of the speakers for refraction, frequency, Alongside the adapter etc.
You can see where I'm going with this I'm sure, we saw those subs made. But if we had high end tuning with the A.I infused 3D printed baffles, I believe it could improve the sound quality even further just like
sound deadening, DSP, Amps, and Crossovers; it'd be just another level to add/climb in terms of car audio.
I appreciate the very informative, conscious, and thought provoking video! 🎉 well done!
Sweet! I have been watching for them to drop quite a bit more, lol. Thanks for your input on scanning!
Just waiting for next video about this 😍
Yes yes I agree 100% and yes please make a video on how you would use the 3D scanner to make your part and the software and all the tools you are using 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I really like that you can scan a panel and get tight fit tolerances.
Been waiting for someone to do this. I don't do enough installs to warrant the price of a scanner, but I really want to use one to make speaker pods for the corners of my dash
You are taking car audio on another level thanks
I'm letting you know. A review would be nice.
Love to see a video for the scanner
Definitely subbed first video I watched. 👍
Thanks Mark I’m now 1000.00 lighter 😂 lol. I am a CAD designer myself and had been flirting with the idea of getting a scanner but until I saw your video and then researched this scanner I knew it was the one I should get. I appreciate your informative videos and always enjoy watching what project you have going on. Keep it up buddy!!!! Would love to see some videos on building a center console and door panels from scratch maybe it would be a good use for the scanner to show how to do it from start to finish. Just an idea.
Hey do you have any tips for me, I'm trying to make a 13channel audio system with
4 tweeters, 2 in front, 2 rear
4 mid range, 2 front, 2 rear
4 woofers , 2 front, 2 rear
1 sub
But I don't inow how to connect amp and crossovers, do you have or can you make a " planning a 14 audio system" video please
I REALLY LIKE YOUR JOB MAN, KEEP GOING
Well just like with any new great tool that takes the fun out of it of course but still fun doing it
I've been 3D printing components for use in various automotive applications for awhile now. When people show interest about wanting to do that themselves, I generally tell them there's two components that they will need to master to make it worthwhile. One, is the actual printing process, and second is designing and modeling their own parts. The latter is typically the one which tends to scare them away. As the 3D scanning tools become more accessible, they may feel more confident to pursue the activity.
Sounds like a good business for someone to have a library of scans and sell them?? Great video and very interesting 👍
Very cool
Awesome buddy.......... Greetings from india 🎉
How do you turn the stl file the software generates into a cad file that u can import into fusion and do cad / CNC / laser stuff with
Please do a video on the 3D scanner!!!!!
Can you please help
I have an vintage Kenwood amplifier and speakers it is not working what should I do
I'd buy a set of dash pods for my speakers..Morel CDM880 and Mt25 morel tweeters.....It would be cool to have something printed that fit the corners of the dash without having to make custom A-Pillars.
Can you do some more videos on 3d scanning and printing speaker enclosures to custom fit a vehicle? I'd like to use Craftcloud or something similar to order prototypes. What material would be ideal for this? Thinking maybe aluminum. Thanks.
Hey, I know you prefer JL áudio system but have you eard about Sony Es speakers and the amp? I'm looking for news speakers but I'm not sure what to buy, I'm seeing your videos and you prefer JL audio but I have seen sony es specs and looks great if you use all of the Es system áudio.
Btw I'm trying to make a clean 13 or 14 channel áudio system
Great info. I think I want to know more about 3d designs. Where should I start?
Being able to make molds for fiberglass using a 3d printer would be absolutely insane.
Or just 3d print the part :) lots more material options now.
@@CarAudioFabrication I’d love to see a video where you 3d print some a-pillars
That's already a thing dawg! Possibilities are endless!
What CAD program are you using for design?
What is the name of the 3D printer that you use? I need to get one
I love your knowledge and quality of work! How could I get in contact with you to see how my 2023 Tesla Model Y could be sound deadened completely?
My goal is to make this car even more quiet!
Located in Washinton state would be happy to take the car and work with you!
Thank you!
What does it output in terms of actual data? The last time I used a 3D scanner (many, many, years ago) it just put out a constellation of points, of various density that you could assign, and it was up to the designer to attempt to fit surfaces through those points. It wasn't all that useful in practice to have millions of disconnected points to work with.
Does this scanner spit out its own surfaces that can then be imported into other software and worked with directly?
Yep, I know exactly what you mean. Or these companies would want to sell you a $4k per year license to their proprietary software that does export the data. Not the case with the one I picked up. It gives you a point cloud and in its own software you can export as .obj .stl etc. Gives you a mesh out of the software and also has many option sin the software to allow you to simplify and correct the mesh prior to export.
@@CarAudioFabrication Yep, exactly that. Actually, this was far enough back in the day that the vendor wasn't even sure if they _could_ export the number of points I was requesting... I was looking to create models of a machine that was built 100 years ago and we had no drawings for. It was the size of a small gas station and about 3 stories tall. 🤣
The sample data their salesman sent me after our on-site consultation was not impressive. It looks like this tool would have actually done the job if I had taken the time to wave it around long enough. 👍
Can i download other ones scan data ? A golf is a golf a BMW is a BMW and somebody with a suzuki alto is not building much audio in it so i think that you have to scan only populair cars 1 time and you can charge the Costumer voor download time not 4 scanning the same car that you already have in your database
i wonder if the LiDAR on a newer idevice would be able to do the same thing with the right app?
I spent a ton of time trying to make that work. It's still a "toy" in my opinion and doesn't cover a wide range of needs for our applications. It can make a pretty picture but when it comes to being accurate enough to be used for true CAD data it doesn't meet expectations. At this time dedicated scanner is the way to go, especially with its accompanying software that allows for manipulation and correction of the measured point cloud and mesh.
yeah a dedicated device would definitely offer more resolution and usable data, give it a few more generations though and perhaps?
@@markwentz8332 I haven't messed with it, but there are software packages out there that will create a mesh from regular old 2D photographs. Autodesk had one they were touting a few years back.
It seemed a bit fiddly and time consuming, but any camera could do it, so..?
****Method of mass production, or OEM scans to sale and recoup costs easily.
With a little cnc other parts could be made.
Never considered till now.
Wow, thanks!
I'm looking into getting a 3D printer at some point. A scanner would be nice as well.
Your phone will work as a 3D Scanner!! If you have a iPhone 12 or higher!
Can you use a ipad pro to do this?
Lol. No. Need a real computer. Just like tuning a DSP. Don't expect to do it with any real efficiency with a mobile device or tablet.
Lol? not sure the derisory laughter was required. I assume he's referring to the LIDAR scanner found in pro models of iphone and ipad which can be somewhat useful to generate a scan in 3d space.. this information may be useful to generate the approximate dimensions and measure volumes of space. Maybe.@@CarAudioFabrication
I have the same einstar and multiple 3d printers. (Bambu lab p1s + ams, x1c+ 2x ams) 1 custom 1050mm x 350mm x 500mm core-xy machine. Plus a 4x4ft cnc router.
I just finished designing 3way dash pods for my 06 xb fully 3d printed in ASA.
I like technology but considering the cost of some things I have to consider if the tech has multiple uses so that it isn't laying around collecting dust. I'm not running a business, obviously.
For sure, that's why I say "high end enthusiast" in the video, the type of guy that is doing this sort of thing often.
It's hard for me to tell if I like or dislike you, but I'll keep watching your videos either way.
You seem like a cool guy and you're very knowledgable, we'd probably get along great.
But every time I watch one of your videos I decide to spend another 200 dollars, I've spent triple on my current sound system then I ever did growing up. You son of a bitch.
Thanks.
Sorry about that! 😁🔊 Bass on brother!
what thickness for that damping material??? 120mm butyl rubber?????
