Space age 3D Printing Guitars

Often musicians design their own instrument or would like their musical instruments to have a particular shape or design. Some of these instruments seem very outlandish or impossible to construct. However the advent of 3 D printing technology has given them a chance to try to create the designs which they have in their mind. Often designs which people have in their mind and the brain are impossible to make and drawn on a paper. Even if 3D virtual reality makes it possible to bring the design into the realm of visual image it was not possible to create the object in realty. 3 D printing technology have given a very powerful tool in the hands of designers to create anything in virtual reality into something which is physical.

One such musical instrument which can be made by 3D printing service is the Guitar. One of the biggest advantages of creating a Guitar using the 3D technology is that the guitars made in such way is incredibly strong. So the next time do not expect Pete Townsend to smash his guitar while performing in a bout of almost orgasmic frenzy. The raw material which is used to make these guitars by the 3D printing service is made of Nylon. This makes these Guitars incredibly strong and shatters proof. Who knows, tomorrow they will make a guitar of Kevlar and even make it bullet proof.

One of the biggest advantages of 3D printing service is that it uses the 3D CAD designing software. It means that it is now possible to create objects of any design and shape. It would just need a computer aided 3D design and bingo, the object is created. As of today, only a small number of colors can be used to create these designs. However in future it could be possible to develop intricate designs and use colors on them to give a gaudier look to the guitar.

By using a costlier 3D printer, it is possible create different patterns and use a mixture of colors. Since the prints will be an integral part of the guitar, there would be no chance of the colors fading or the inlays falling off. The process of making the guitar does not mean that the whole guitar is printed. Rather the 3D printing service involves the printing of the strings, and the other accessories like the pickups, tuning pegs etc. The strings and the pegs can be fixed on the wooden or plastic guitar body.
