3D printed custom headphones are now available through the Normal app by former Quirky insider Nikki Kaufmann thanks to $5 million in venture backing.
The super simple app guides you through a photo based ear and face scanning process to configure the headphones to exactly meet your ear shape. This is possibly the first 3D printing apps designed to make functional products, not a figurine or toy, a major step towards the ubiquity of 3D printing to power customized products.
There are already over 10 million 3D printed hearing aids in the world, now with apps such as Normal, we can expect to see more customized consumer products hit the market.
Speaking of Quirky, check out the video below and download the app to customize your earphones now.
Maybe not the first, I launched one for eyewear last month: willywagner.com!
They have a much higher production value though.
