Den Design

Iwwer Spark Reise-E-Gitarre

Spark ass eng Reise-E-Gitarre, déi fir Portabilitéit a fir d'Produktioun doheem entwéckelt gouf. De Kierper, den Hals a d'Griffbrett ginn duerch Fused-Filament-Fabrication mat recycléiertem Holzfaser- an Aramid-Kompositmaterial gedréckt, amplaz vu Hartholz. Déi elektresch a mechanesch Komponenten sinn wäit verbreet verfügbar, an de Montage benotzt e léietfräi Verkabelungssystem. Spark gëtt mat traditionelle Methoden fäerdeggestallt, dorënner Schleiwen, d'Setzen vun de Bünnen, an eng Nitrozellulos-Lackbeschichtung. Eng kopflos fixéiert Bréck hält déi voll Skalenlängt an enger kompakter Form.

D'Unerkennung

Iwwer den A' Design Award an Bronze

Spark Reise-E-Gitarre ass e Gewënner vum A' Design Award an Bronze, enger héich prestigiéiser Unerkennung, déi un erausragend Designe vergi gëtt, déi sech duerch Kreativitéit, Erfindungsgab a Schlauheet ausgezeechnen.

Produktiounstechnologie: Realized through Computer-Aided Design and Fused Filament Fabrication technologies. Domestically sourced electrical and mechanical components. Finished using traditional methods (sanding, seating frets, binding, nitrocellulose lacquer finish, etc.).
Design Erausfuerderung: Bio-composite filaments used, while recyclable and or compostable, do not provide adequate structural support for full-scale stringed instruments under tension. Complications with recycled wood-fiber composite filaments required research and testing of additional materials with more effective mechanical properties. Key attributes considered were creep resistance (resistance against deformation under long-term load), tensile strength, elongation at break, density, and ease of printing.
Fuerschung: Initial research into fundamental basics and history of electric guitar construction was crucial to ensure a playable end product. Standardized dimensions of classic high-end models helped to provide a familiar aesthetic and a framework to work within, and use of widely available and popular components to inform the overall design. Influenced by concepts such as compact modularity, right to repair, and the future of at-home manufacturing.
Inspiratioun: An exploration to replicate traditional luthier processes through new-age methods of small scale manufacturing and the pursuit of material alternatives for guitar-making. Informed by the idea that making a guitar should be more accessible and experiential; the vision for a transformative guitar able to be printed and assembled at home, inspired by vintage Fender, Steinberger, La Baye 2x4, and lap steel guitars.
Projetdauer: The continuation of thesis work while at Rochester Institute of Technology, this project has spent some time in design and development. Prototyping done in 2021 and final working model and process book to be completed in 2022. Based out of Litchfield, Connecticut.
Operatiounsablaf: Printable and playable, an innovative solution to cost-effectively produce and assemble your own guitar using recyclable materials, encompassed within a compact full-scale travel silhouette.
