Forte3D introduces a series of 3D printed violins and cellos that use carbon fiber as the main material instead of wood, allowing resistance to cracks and deformities. Assembled by hand, the string instruments adopt the lightweight material, which doesn't react to temperature and humidity and avoids any morphing when the environment changes over time. Traditional string instruments use wood, which can change shape when the objects are exposed to varying weather conditions.
