Scott Summit, known more for 3D Printed prosthetics, recently did an interview with Bloomberg Weekly where he talked about his newly designed and 3D printed acoustic guitar.
He had hoped it would sound better than the $100 wood models he made as a kid, and was pleasantly surprised with its quality and tonality.
"Summit describes this version as a rough draft. He wants to start experimenting with more radical designs to see how they change the sound. Somewhere down the road he figures people will be able to use software to pick out what sort of treble, bass, or sustain they desire and then print a guitar to match those qualities. “It will arrive in the mail and sound just the way you wanted,” he says."
