Bernadac and describes the 3Dvarius as the world’s first fully playable 3-D printed violin. He’s been playing the violin since he was 5 years old but his professional background is in engineering. 

It’s no surprise designers with a background in the sciences are gravitating toward this new technology. The field is highly sophisticated and accessible enough that anyone with a PC and a desktop 3-D printer can begin printing their own musical instruments at home.

In 2012, Bernadac was finishing his engineering degree at the National Institute of Applied Sciences of Toulouse when he became interested in the idea of designing his own electric violin. While ordinary electric violins have a modern, almost harsh sound, Bernadac wanted something with a look and tone that replicated the forms of the legendary Stradivarius.
