Here’s a sneak preview of my first 3d printed wooden guitar. It’s printed through a binder jetting additive manufacturing process that uses wood sawdust and bio-epoxy by a company called #Forust. Could this represent a more sustainable future for the manufacture of high-end wooden products?
The design was done using a combination of #Solidworks and #nTopology and it contains a diamond TPMS lattice structure (a sexier version of a gyroid).
The guitar includes the following example specifications:
 |

Warmoth Pro Warhead maple neck with rosewood fret board, 22 frets, 25 1/2" scale, 42.86mm (1 11/16") width, Graphtec nut, 6150 sized jumbo frets, 10-16" compound radius fret board, white inlay dots. Walnut logo inlay
