In this week’s edition of Top 5, we have a lineup of some interesting 3D printing applications. First, we have our exclusive interview with Olaf Diegel, a 3D-printed guitar designer. Then, we feature a 3D-printed water fountain for a pet, a tutorial on metalworking jigs, fixtures and tooling, and a video explaining 3D-printed dental guides. Finally, discover the Plica-1, a prototype for a portable, foldable, battery-operated 3D printer that can print anywhere. From musical instruments to dental guides to tooling, these videos showcase the diverse potential of 3D printing! As always, happy watching.
Top 1: Olaf Diegel’s Guitar Designs
Artists have been using 3D printing to make musical instruments for several years. One incredible example is Olaf Diegel, a professor of additive manufacturing at Auckland University who has his own 3D-printed guitar company, ODD Guitars. He has printed over a hundred unique designs, leveraging additive manufacturing technology to create intricate, personalized pieces. Watch our exclusive interview with him to discover his story.
