Abstract
Description
Wood wind instruments of conventional design are generally produced from solid wood.In the course of technical development, 3D printing is also included in instrument construction, using a wide variety of methods.The sound of the instrument is determined in particular by the nature of the surface in the interior of the instrument body.Wood wind instruments that are printed 3D must be printed with special materials, parameters and / or post-treated on the acoustically effective surfaces.The invention achieves that the sound becomes more natural and "woods".
Claims
3D printed wood wind instrument, characterized in that its body consists wholly or partly of a material which contains wood particles.Instrument according to claim 1, characterized in that its surfaces are printed so as to mimic the roughness of a wood surface that is customary in wood-wind instruments.Instrument according to claim 1, characterized in that its surfaces are printed so as to mimic the roughness of a wood surface customary in wood-wind instruments and coated with natural oils.Instrument according to claim 1, characterized in that its surfaces are printed so as to mimic the roughness of a wood surface customary in wood wind instruments and coated with natural waxes.Instrument according to claim 1, characterized in that its surfaces are printed so as to mimic the roughness of a wood surface customary in wood-wind instruments and coated with mineral oils.Instrument according to claim 1, characterized in that its surfaces are printed so as to mimic the roughness of a wood surface customary in wood-wind instruments and coated with mineral waxes / fats.
