How To Print Custom Guitars Off Of Your Computer

Check out this video of the Zoybar TOR – a custom guitar that was ‘printed’ from a computer, using 3D modeling technology.

Here’s how to print your own custom guitar:

  • Design an awesome 3D guitar using Blender, an open source 3D modeling application, or customize a 3D model that you find on the Internet
  • Print it at an online 3D printing service, like Shapeways
  • Put it together and rock

Of course, it would probably help a lot if you know something about 3D modeling software and the capabilities of 3D printers.
