The selection of my manufacturing partners for the Potar Radipotar Speakers was the result of a meticulous supplier search and evaluation process to ensure collaboration with only the best. We scrutinized potential partners not only for their technical capabilities but also for their experience, creativity, and reliability. Through this careful selection process, we ensured that our partners not only met our technical requirements but also shared a common vision for quality and excellence.
The realization of this project would not have been possible without our premier manufacturers. One partner is 3D Print Austria, founded by Nils Gödde and Philipp Lerchbaumer. Their support extended beyond mere 3D printing to include brainstorming sessions on structural details, finishing techniques, and addressing print-specific challenges. They were particularly responsible for 3D printing the struts using HP Multijet Fusion technology, followed by a special black dyeing process that added aesthetic depth to the parts.
The second phase of manufacturing was undertaken by SFK, an experienced carpentry firm from Upper Austria known for its successful execution of numerous exceptional projects. SFK took on the demanding task of manufacturing the speaker chassis and cones, including numerous 5-axis milling operations. The result: truly impressive speakers, perfectly crafted prototypes.
The collaborative partnership with these premier manufacturers was instrumental in the success of this ambitious project, characterized by excellent communication and mutual respect.
