While 3D printing has certainly advanced by leaps and bounds over the years, there are still limitations involved. For instance, you cannot fully print out an electric car, as there are bits and pieces here and there which need to rely on traditional manufacturing processes. How about a band that uses 3D printed instruments? This is what Professor Olaf Diegel from Lund University over in Sweden wants folks out there to put on their thinking caps.
He intends to share his vision with the world that 3D printing has its fair share of real-world applications, and hence in order to prove his point, he came up with 3D printed guitars, drums and keyboards that actually work. Once he has his instruments assembled, it is time to find a group of folks to take up those instruments and start making melodies together. Hence, creating a new record of being the maiden live concert which relies on 3D-printed instruments.
This professor surely knows what he is doing, taking into consideration how he has been behind designs of different 3D-printed musical instruments in the past couple of years, where a couple of them includes a saxophone as well as a keyboard, now how about that? [Press Release]
