Guest Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Scott Summit does unusual things on his vacations. For instance, he just spent a week up in the mountains, taking in the majestic scenery and all that, but also sitting at his laptop creating a 3D model of his ideal guitar. Then he sent the computer design to 3D Systems (DDD), which used its massive 3D printers to transform the graphic model into an actual acoustic instrument that Summit can play. As far as anyone seems to know, this is the first 3D-printed acoustic guitar on the planet, and it raises all kinds musical possibilities. (As several readers noted, people have already made 3D printed electric guitars.) http://www.businessw...-printed-guitar
FiveseveN Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Ce oferă tehnica aditivă în plus față de turnare/presare etc. după matriță (v. Ovation)?
'mnezău Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Pierderi de material mai mici şi probabil unele forme care nu ar putea fi realizate atât de exact prin turnare/presare.
FiveseveN Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Pierderi mai mici nu înseamnă neapărat și costuri mai mici: "The one-off model used about $3,000 worth of plastic". Nah, selective sintering e scump. Din păcate se pare că nea' Summit a făcut-o după ochi, nu a profitat de flexibilitatea procesului de fabricație pentru a oferi ceva util d.p.d.v. ergonomic sau tonal.
'mnezău Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Asta îţi dai seama. Este mai mult ceva de genul "yes we can", nu "yes we can cheaper, faster and better". Momentan tehnologia asta este destul de nouă. În timp va fi tot mai folosită. Ca şi costuri, pe o linie de producţie, se va simţi materialul "câştigat". În timp, nu imediat.
