The world's first full 3D printed electric violin 3Dvarius will be crowdfunding

This year, we have reported many times that French musician Laurent Bernadac and his team designed and 3D printed electric violin 3Dvarius. This violin is printed in 3D with transparent resin and light curing technology. It not only looks crystal clear, but also plays the same quality as the traditional violin. Today, Bernadac's team has decided to bring it to market, so they are scheduled to launch a crowdfunding campaign for their 3D printed electric violin 3Dvarius on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter on May 18, 2016.

According to Bernadac's team, 3Dvarius is the world's first full 3D printed and able to play electric violin. They believe that by combining modern technology with ancient craftsmanship, they can create a better violin that strikes the perfect balance and provide it to musicians.

According to the production team, with 3D printing, the entire body of the 3Dvarius is seamless, and the extra material is almost completely absent, very light. And it gives the musician everything they need, and each stage is optimized to ensure the best sound quality. It allows musicians to play beautiful music over and over again.

It is understood that Bernadac's team claims that 3Dvarius will be a concert-grade violin, designed for professional violinists and connoisseurs. Each of its designs is unique and can be improved according to the specific requirements of each violinist. Basic shape. They can even customize the violin according to specific preferences or tracks.

It is understood that Bernadac's team hopes to raise $50,000 through crowdfunding, so that they can improve the existing light-cured 3D printing technology and material formula to further enhance the sound quality of the violin. It is said that 3Dvarius will be carefully treated after the initial printing is completed - the burrs are removed and the initial polishing is performed. The production team then uses UV light to cure it again, then polish it with the finest sandpaper. After all this is done, the Strings and neck are finally loaded and you can play.

In fact, because the main body of the instrument is completely integrated, the overall mass distribution is very uniform. Unlike traditional Violins, which are assembled using a large number of different parts, the sound will be better and smoother, and the musicians will be able to get more Great control.

The 3Dvarius production team has not yet announced the price of this 3D printed electric violin, but we estimate it may not be too cheap. But in any case, this is a historic event for the instrument industry, because 3Dvarius will be the first commercial, commercialized full 3D printed instrument.
