Industrial designer Scott Summit has created what is believed to be the first 3D-printed acoustic guitar. Businessweek reports that although he thought the pressure of the strings would be too much for the plastic, he says it sounds like a much more expensive custom guitar.

3D Systems, which recently acquired Summit's prosthetic printing startup Bespoke Innovations, transformed the graphic model into an actual instrument using its 3D printers. It used around $3,000 worth of plastic and features a 3D-printed sterling silver headstock and stainless steel plate on the neck.

Summit now wants to start experimenting with more radical designs to see how they change the sound. In the future he hopes that people will be able to use software to design their ideal guitar and then print it. 3D Systems are also thinking about how to take the idea further.

工业设计师斯科特首脑会议创造了什么被认为是第一个3D打印的木吉他。商业周刊报道说，虽然他认为琴弦的压力将太多的塑料，他说，这听起来像一个更昂贵的定制吉他。

3D Systems公司，该公司最近收购了峰会的假肢印刷启动定制的创新，改变了图形模型转化为使用它的3D打印机实际的仪器。它使用大约$3000名价值的塑料，并配有3D打印纯银车头和不锈钢板的脖子上。

峰会现在要开始使用更激进的设计，试验，看看他们是如何改变声音。在未来，他希望人们能够使用软件来设计自己理想的吉他，然后打印出来。 3D系统也在思考如何采取进一步的想法。
