Can FDM lead to a better speaker?

Dune

Most speakers have parallel walls because that's what's easy to manufacture — flat panels cut, joined, and braced. This project explores whether FDM 3D printing can lead to a better sounding speaker. Additive manufacturing opens up geometry that's otherwise impractical to build: internal walls that curve and taper to break up standing waves, port shapes that flare instead of staying a straight cylinder.
