Custom Guitar Stand Design Using 3D Scanning & Hybrid Fabrication 🎸

At the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab Munich – FabLab, I designed a custom guitar stand using a combination of 3D scanning, CNC cutting, and 3D printing.

Here’s the workflow I followed:

🔹 3D Scanning – I scanned the guitar to capture its exact shape. Since the guitar is asymmetrical, accurate scanning was crucial to ensure a perfect fit.
🔹 Designing the Stand – Using the scanned data, I designed the holder in CATIA, including the connection part that would be 3D printed.
🔹 CNC Cutting & 3D Printing – Using DELMIA as CAM software, I prepared the toolpaths and cut the main body on a CNC machine. The connection part was then 3D printed, allowing me to assemble the final stand seamlessly.

This project was a great example of combining digital tools and hands-on fabrication. It’s amazing how much easier 3D scanning makes custom designs.

📸 I’m sharing photos of the 3D scanning process, design in CATIA, and the final result to show the full journey from digital capture to physical product.
