About Project

In the 1987 routine, Michael leaned from the ankle at a 45-degree angle, while keeping his body straight as a rod. Inspired by his dance, we creatively design the piano in a futuristic shape. 3D printing can break the restrictions on the shape of the piano while it still allows for tapping, gluing, mortise and tenon jointing, hot bending, etc. The carbon fiber ABS material has high strength and ductility, and can be used outdoors.

Solution

  • Step 1: Build the 3D model of the piano, split it and add support structures.
  • Step 2: Mix the grains of SLA ABS-like Resin and carbon fiber, then melt them into filament.
  • Step 3: Print the parts with our FDM 3D printing technology.
  • Step 4: Sanding, polishing, and putty filling to remove layer lines.
  • Step 5: Coat the piano with special paints. Spray with UV-oil.
  • Step 6: Assemble all the parts together with superglue and screws.
