Modeling of an ARCh TOP Guitar

Nate Sherwood and Chris Standley project to preserve the history of a 1932 Epiphone De Luxe guitar by reverse engineering and creating 3D models of its top, back, and neck. This process involves repairing any damage on the guitar and developing a technique for working with 3D scanned meshes.

  1. Modeling of an ARChTOP Guitar • Nate Sherwood • Chris Standley

  2. Project Definition Reverse engineer surfaces of a 1932 Epiphone DE LUXE • Create models of the top ,back ,and neck • Repair damage on guitar • Preserve history of these guitars Develop a process for working with 3D scanned meshes

  3. 3D Scanning Suspending the guitar Hold guitar as still as possible while scanning Place positioning sticker on shiny / curved surfaces Very Important to Scan all angles- if possible Learn VX Elements

  4. Export Meshes/ Surfacing with Meshes • Export 3D Scan file as an STL • Use the Digitized Shape Editor Work Bench

  5. Techniques • Sketcher Workbench • Sketch fine details • Extrude sketch into a surface as a cutting element. • Quick Surface Reconstruction Work Bench • Activate Tool, Select Brush and, paint surface leaving out any unwanted imperfections • Quick Surface Reconstruction Workbench. • Select Automatic Surface tool. In the dialog box select: Full internal tangency, Fill holes, Extended Surfaces • Make sure all activated mesh points are connected or the automatic surface tool will not work

  6. Techniques Cont. • Generative shape design workbench • Place points on the cloud- create spline form those points- 3D project splines to desired plane. • To create surfaces the ‘multi-section surface’ tool in generative shape design workbench is helpful.

  7. Finished Parts

  8. Final Assembly
