3DLI Offers Customized 3D Printed Sitar
You can now get your very own custom 3D printed sitar with genuine strings, frets and bridge from 3DLI. Professionally tested, these sitars provide great tonal quality and resonance characteristics.
The 3DLI team was requested by the Mat Creedon School of Music to 3D print this sitar as an exploration of sound. “We were interested to pursue this challenge to validate that a stringed musical instrument as unique as a sitar could be 3D printed whilst maintaining its distinct sound quality and tonal qualities” 3DLI team.
The sitar body was reverse engineered and drawn in CAD (computer aided design) software. This model was then 3D printed into individual body parts and welded together to provide the strongest bond, while maintaining the wall thicknesses and hollow cavities of the original sitar. 3DLI also used traditional bridges, frets and strings, required to create the distinct quality of the sitar buzz.
