Abstract: The present invention provides product, method and apparatus for designing and constructing three-dimensional models for use as acoustic panels. A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method and apparatus for designing and constructing three-dimensional models for use as acoustic panels. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method is provided which includes the steps of calculating dimensions and segments of a three-dimensional model based on detected acoustic properties of a room, characteristics of substrate materials, and dimensions of a selected substrate. According to a preferred embodiment, the material employed with the present invention may include materials such as cardboard, paper, acrylic, wood, and fabric. The final product of the present invention preferably has acoustic absorbing functions and may be hung on a wall or suspended in the middle of a room to provide noise reduction in an aesthetically appealing three-dimensional design.
