FL0CK is currently in its third design iteration. My role has been to integrate new features into the original aesthetic—bridging the visual identity of the first generation with the technical advancements of more recent prototypes.
TASKS:
USE OPTIMISED GEOMETRIES TO MINIMISE SUPPORT MATERIAL
INTERGRATE A CUSTOM PORT TUBE FOR PRECISE ACOUSTIC TUNING OF THE ENCLOSURE
CREATE MODULAR SECTIONS TO FIT THE INTENDED FDM PRINTER BUILD VOLUME
INCLUDE WEATHER & CABINET SEALING
DESIGN A STRAP ATTACHMENT SYSTEM & REDESIGN GRILLE
PCB HOUSINGS, INTERNAL LED PLACEMENT, AND USER ACCESS TO CONTROLS
COMPACT, QUICK-CHANGE BATTERY PACK AND CHARGING SYSTEM

TO ACHIEVE OPTIMUM PRINT QUALITY, I USED TAILORED GEOMETRIES, WALL THICKNESSES, CUSTOM-DESIGNED SUPPORTS, AND FINE-TUNED PRINTER PROFILES TO ENSURE MAXIMUM SURFACE QUALITY WITH MINIMAL POST-PROCESSING.
OUR FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES ARE CURRENTLY UNDERGOING ACOUSTIC AND MASS USER TESTING, SUPPORTING FURTHER TUNING AND CONCEPT REFINEMENT.

"Experience Sound Like Never Before!
You're standing in a festival crowd as the music begins. But it’s not coming from the stage, it’s surrounding you. It’s not just an unseen PA system; the sound is everywhere. Different parts of the same tune feel distinct - vocals over there, the percussion beside you, the horns from another part of the crowd. Yet, everything is perfectly in sync. The music moves with you, blending seamlessly into the procession as it flows down the street. Welcome to Fl0ck a revolutionary new way to amplify sound in the arts."
