Details & technical specifications

Possibilities of this technology:

This technology provides with a system to make very precise instruments for a very affordable price. This can be used either for study, analysis, prototype development as well as proper playable instruments. Computer analysis of the 3D models also opens a new world of possibilities for the understanding of these instruments.

Precision:

This technology is extremely precise. If you have tried one of our instruments and order one like it you won‘t receive just a similar one but arguably the same one for any practical purpose. This is the essence and the wonder of 3D printing.

Material details:

The main material for our instruments is a laser-sintered nylon polymer which density (0,93 g/cm3) is almost the same of boxwood (0,95 - 1,2 g/cm3). The finished material is strong, flexible, washable and heat resistant.

Weight:

Through smart use of the 3D-printing possibilities, our instruments are notoriously lighter than traditional ones, which makes them more comfortable to play.

Traditional slide trumpet: ca. 500 gr. (including mouthpiece)
3D-printed slide trumpet: 135 gr. (including mouthpiece)

Varnish:

After polishing all instruments are varnished with a layer of mate transparent heavy-wear acrylic. This improves the instruments‘ grip and touch feel and makes them dirt-repellent as well as fully washable.

This material is not recyclable.
