The customized guitar was designed on a laptop by Scott and then sent to 3D Systems to be printed. It is made of $3000 worth of plastic. The headstock of the musical instrument is comprised of sterling silver. The neck plate was 3D printed using stainless steel. A gold spiral design creates a circle to decorate the strumming section of the instrument.
3D-Printed Instruments – The 3D Print Acoustic Guitar by Scott Summit is Highly Progressive
3D printing will only accelerate and could benefit communities through complex projects to large for current fabrication companies. Imagine a town where multiple homes have 3D printers. Here’s how it might work:
- Buyer has a concept and gives it to a designer for detailed design and specifications of the components.
- Designer sends data to a platform company to which the homes subscribe.
- The company sends the data to the homes, which print components and deliver them to an assembly location.
- After assembly. the product gets shipped to the buyer.
