3D printed violin seeks larger market through CES

Laurent Bernadac gives a demonstration on the 3Dvarius electric violin during CES 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 5, 2017. The violin was created using 3D printing technology and based on the model of a real Stradivarius violin.

Keeping with French inventions at CES, this violin may seem ordinary at the first glance, but it actually has tens of thousands of layers, and if that’s not enough, it’s 3D printed.

The 3Dvarius, is a professional standard instrument but it took 24 hours to print its 30,000 layers in one single piece. The violin is uniquely jazzed up with words and patterns on its surface, thanks to its method of creation. It is also very light, weight-wise and can generate full and clear riffs.

Laurent Bernadac made his first 3Dvarius in 2016 and had gained a fair amount of local popularity but is hoping to expand his market to North America through the tradeshow. The small, yet advanced gizmo costs 7,000 euros and is available for shipping worldwide through online order.
