Open source guitar 3D printed using Blender
Kevin Holmes of The Creators Project writes about an open source guitar that was made using Blender, Zoybar and 3D printing. The guitar, called the Tor was designed by the Norwegian SD Baard. Zoybar is an “open R&D” project where research is being carried out into musical instruments. There people can download the files and order the parts they need to create their own musical instruments while Zoybar (and anyone who cares to join) does the research into new designs and parts. Then a 3D printing company then manufactures the body for the guitar. Zoybar  is a great model for an innovative business and I would expect to see this emulated in many other fields as time goes by. We”re not sure about the price though, Kevin quotes $175 but the kits we saw on Zoybar were much more expensive than that. A while back someone 3D printed a flute, now a guitar. How long until you can 3D print your entire band?
