Ludus Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hi there, in last few years I have used programs like Rhino 4 and Solidworks demo (last years) to design a models of solid body guitars that would be shaped so good that is suitable for CNC routing. Even Internet is huge it's hard to find out reliable and precise 3D models suitable for it, and I had intention to make some my own design. Until now it was good working with Rhino but I faced with difficulties when I had to join headstock with rest of guitar neck; I wasn't able to make it smooth and precise. So, I saw this software and based on some examples I thought it would offer a wanted solution for me instead Rhino. What you think? Is there anybody who created some guitar or bass with some version of form Z 7/8? What are your opinions, suggestions about this challenge? Do you have some advice, or you saw somewhere some clips about it? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hi Ludus, Yes, we have quite a few users modeling guitars using formZ. Here's one link to a user who comments on it on their site: http://warrguitars.com/cad-stories/ (Scroll down a few "stories" to find formZ.)

I saw some examples with form Z features and made conclusion that form Z could be better than Rhino 4 in many aspects. I'll check your link.

bmeissner Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I don't know if that counts, because it was not used for production, but I made this from (mostly) 2D drawings: Here is the story which I've posted in the old forum. Bernd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
