Case Study: Soft dB achieves portable, rugged noise monitoring with Advanta Design

Soft dB speeds field deployment with Advanta Design using modular 3D-printed components

Advanta Design was approached by Soft dB, which had a functional prototype for a noise monitoring radar system but faced challenges with its portability and robustness for outdoor field use. The client needed a solution that was durable, reliable, and designed for rapid deployment in its service-based operations.

The solution implemented by Advanta Design was a redesigned, modular system that utilized 3D-printed components alongside off-the-shelf hardware and laser-cut metal parts to avoid expensive tooling. This approach prioritized functionality and ease of deployment over high-volume manufacturing, resulting in a product perfectly tailored for Soft dB's field service teams. The new design was swiftly developed to be easily collapsible for transport and quick to assemble on-site, meeting the client's needs for a robust and practical field-ready system.
