The Sound (in 3D) of the Jewel

The sound waves of the word earring, if translated into 3D form, what kind of object do they give shape to? A young designer from Los Angeles asked herself this question, who presents herself with the pseudonym 10DotMatrix and has developed a method to create 3D shapes for jewelry using an open source digital audio editor and tools and materials for creating bijoux. In practice, with the Audacity software she records the words and converts them into 3D, after experimenting with different accents and inflections until she obtains the structure (she sees it on video as if it were a polygraph) that she likes the most. When the sound becomes shape, she refines the image with Gimp, that is, she performs photo editing and then uses Fusion 360 for 3D modeling, both of these are also open source software. Finally, she completes the process with the Afinia printer. Her step-by-step instructions indicate very precise measurements for the printer and also the desired durability. Who knows what would come out of the tinkling of stones? More onomatopoeic than this…
