Jordan Plotner, a Londoner currently attending Yale University, brought 3D printing and music together to create a sound most of us have made at some point: the sound of air being blown over the opening of a glass bottle. Plotner realized that the best way to mimic the shape of pursed lips was via 3D printing, and he used an Objet 30Pro 3D printer from Stratasys to create the pieces. With 12 3D printed nozzles attached to 12 bottles set in 2 rows, Plotner created a touch-action musical keyboard based on compressed air.
