Need an orchestra? Don’t call a booking agent. Instead, just print one out.
In recent years, 3-D printers have created extraordinary things –orthotic body parts, shoes, toys and musical instruments among them. Now, the London-based 3D printing studio my3Dtwin has created the world’s first 3D-printed orchestra, according to classical-music.com.
The studio took pictures of professional musicians playing their instruments and converted those images into tiny, three-dimensional Plaster of Paris models.
The model orchestra is on display at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, Az., where it is used to teach people about the instruments of the orchestra.
