Violin — Reverse Engineering from 3D Scan
The goal of this project was to transform a handcrafted wooden violin, created by an expert luthier, into a precise NURBS 3D model suitable for CNC milling.
Starting from a dense 3D scan of the original instrument, the main challenge was to reconstruct smooth, continuous surfaces that captured the subtle nuances of the handmade form. Using Rhinoceros 3D, I carefully rebuilt each surface, ensuring accuracy and fluid transitions across the model.
Beyond the technical process, this project offered a rewarding insight into the craftsmanship behind musical instruments — blending traditional artistry with digital precision.
