A 3D-Printed Piano Keyboard That Mimics the Feel of an Acoustic Piano
by Lori Dorn from Laughing Squid on (#785SH)
Brian Yu of Dovetail developed a modular, 3D-printed piano keyboard that uses compliant mechanisms and custom electronics to mimic the key action of an acoustic piano.
This is a 3D-printed piano that actually plays. And I spent the last 6 months designing, prototyping, and testing it.... I experimented with compliant mechanisms, modular electronics, and more in pursuit of an acoustic-esque key action at a more affordable price.
The six-month project was an attempt to bridge the gap between affordable digital pianos and the feel of an acoustic piano.
