“…Earlier studies reported by Savan and Simian showed SLS printed instruments (ancient cornett) using nylon material have exhibited porous and rough structure [25]. Hence post processing operations are required to seal the bore and to improve the ease of playing.…”

“…Further some instruments are considered as precious and are kept in museums or private collections. In this regard, the potential benefit for individual musicians to create instruments or missing components using various AM techniques are discussed in [25,28]. As a first step, the restoration starts with dimensional data collection from the existing or non-existing part.…”

This paper aimed to provide a foundation database for understanding the important applications of the different additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for musical wind instruments. A systematic review methodology was adopted in this study. The different AM techniques, materials used, the technical features, and processing parameters uniquely related to wind instruments were discussed. Selected heterogeneous applications demonstrate how AM techniques are being exploited in the innovation, improvement in aesthetics of the existing wind instruments, understanding the ancient music, and personalization with its capability to tune specific instrument design parameters for professional musicians.

“…The same machine was used for the extrusion of flexible parts, although it was adapted with a special system of direct extrusion for flexible filaments of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), more specifically, the type V3 from Recreus (Alicante, Spain). Stereolithography (SLA) has been used for printing as this technology provides personalised design instruments (shape and texture) and superior mechanical properties (lightweight and strength), which, in turn, have acoustic properties suitable for school use [18].…”

“…For many wind instruments, successful one-handed adaptations have been achieved." [10] Regarding 3D printed one-handed recorders, the OHMI website includes a onehanded 3D-printed recorder and, in general, there are several attempts to apply 3D printing techniques for wind musical instruments [4,17,18], all of which have used polymer-based techniques. These studies prove the benefits of the wide capabilities of 3D printing in free-shape design [13,18] and it is a comfortable tool for geometrical development [17].…”

The recorder is one of the most common instruments used during primary school in the formal education system in the EU. However, there are a percentage of students with only one functional hand. The existing one-handed recorders available for them to be able to play and perform in the same way as their peers are expensive and difficult to use. This study’s purpose is to document the development of Flow—a low cost one-handed recorder as well as the user’s assessment of the psychosocial benefits of the recorder. The methods used for fabrication were 3D modelling and additive manufacturing (AM) technology or 3D printing using the technique of stereolithography, and for the assessment of the product, the Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale (PIADS) questionnaire was distributed to 20 primary school users. The results show that the use of resins and Stereolithography is appropriate for wind instruments providing quality and strength at a fair price. Flow also proved to have a positive impact on the users and their inclusion in school. The main conclusions of this study underscore the adequacy of using AM for adaptations required for people with disabilities and the positive psychosocial benefits generated by the use of Flow in children.

“…Additively manufactured titanium and its alloys are of particular interest to aerospace technology [ 22 ] as well as medical technology [ 23 ] or even for musical instruments. [ 24 ] Titanium goes through a phase transformation at T = 882 °C, where the lattice changes from a hexagonally close‐packed (hcp) to a body‐centered cubic (bcc) lattice. This transformation entails a slight volume contraction.…”

Internal Stress Evolution and Subsurface Phase Transformation in Titanium Parts Manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion—An In Situ X‐Ray Diffraction Study

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a metal additive manufacturing technology, which enables the manufacturing of complex geometries for various metals and alloys. Herein, parts made from commercially pure titanium are studied using in situ synchrotron radiation diffraction experiments. Both the phase transformation and the internal stress buildup are evaluated depending on the processing parameters. For this purpose, evaluation approaches for both temperature and internal stresses from in situ diffraction patterns are presented. Four different parameter sets with varying energy inputs and laser scanning strategies are investigated. A combination of a low laser power and scanning speed leads to a more homogeneous stress distribution in the observed gauge volumes. The results show that the phase transformation is triggered during the primary melting and solidification of the powder and subsurface layers. Furthermore, the stress buildup as a function of the part height during the manufacturing process is clarified. A stress maximum is formed below the part surface, extending into deeper layers with increasing laser power. A temperature evaluation approach for absolute internal stresses shows that directional stresses decrease sharply during laser impact and reach their previous magnitude again during cooling.
