Tesseract Design of Oregon had a very interesting project to add to their portfolio recently, when asked to design headphones for both a dog and a guinea pig appearing in a TV commercial about the Oregon Lottery. The designers were able to use both innovation and creativity in 3D modeling and 3D printing to produce the miniature 3D printed accessories which required a bit of digital tweaking and refitting for the guinea pig. Tesseract Design also used their acetone vapor finishing technique for the ABS material so that the upper part of the headphones was produced seamlessly with a glossy finish, while the lower 3D printed part was produced in black matte.
