Reverse Engineering A Conference Speaker Mount

Our Intro

A client approached us to reverse engineer a corporate speaker mount designed for conference tables. This mount serves as the attachment point for conference speakers. To begin, we evaluated whether to utilize 3D scanning or manual measurements with calipers. Considering the client's budget and the mount's relatively simple geometry, we opted for manual measurements, as they are cost-effective and suitable for straightforward designs. We then developed a CAD model and produced several prototypes. The final prototypes, along with the electronic design files, were delivered to the client. This project perfectly showcases our reverse engineering services.


Purchasing the Part

To reverse engineer the corporate speaker mount, we first acquired an original unit from the manufacturer. This allowed us to thoroughly analyze its design and functionality, ensuring our reverse-engineered model met the client's requirements. Purchasing the original mount was essential for accurate measurements and understanding the integration with conference tables and speakers.







Taking Measurements

We meticulously measured each part, focusing on critical dimensions such as mounting hole diameters, spacing, and angles to ensure precise replication. Additionally, we assessed the mount's depth and any recessed areas to understand how it integrates with the table and speakers. These detailed measurements were then used to create an accurate CAD model, facilitating the development of prototypes that closely matched the original design.










Part - CAD

After obtaining precise measurements of the corporate speaker mount, we proceeded to create a detailed CAD model. We began by sketching the mount's individual components, ensuring accurate representation of all features. Next, we assembled these components within the software to form a complete 3D model. This digital representation served as the foundation for developing prototypes and facilitated any necessary modifications before final production.




Manufacturing Prototype's

To develop the corporate speaker mount, we employed Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing for rapid prototyping. This approach enabled us to swiftly produce physical models, facilitating immediate evaluation and iterative refinement. By conducting early testing, we quickly identified and resolved design issues, accelerating the development process and enhancing the final product's quality and functionality. The prototype also have a foam component as an adhesive component. These part were purchased, tested and installed on the final prototype which was shipped to the client.
