Design and Fabrication of Additive Manufactured Violin

(1st Report, Process Construction and Design Implementation)

抄録

Additive manufacturing technology is being researched and developed not only for prototyping, but also for various application areas. The authors have been researching additive manufactured violins. In this study, four design goals for the additive manufactured violin were defined. Then, a process of design, manufacturing, and evaluation to achieve the design goals was constructed, employing 3D scanning, 3D-CAD, and CAE. Several parts of the constructed process were implemented to create 3D-CAD models of a violin. One of the design configurations for the additive manufactured violin was found that might achieve the four design goals using the 3D-CAD model.
