this is great! I have been trying to do something similar, but so far lack the Fusion skills. A couple of things might improve the overall shape. First, the "long" arch which you are using should not have a straight line tangent connecting two arches. It is one continuous curve. Also, the Strad poster you are using probably has the cross arching drawn on the back. Generally, when violins are copied, there are five cross arching which are used for reference, the sixth being the long arch. If you incorporated them into your model, the plate would look more accurate. I am wondering how to do this..Anyhow, i really enjoyed your video and will continue to check out your fascinating work. cheers! Andrew
Hi - great videos, and series. I am a longtime fusion user, and would like to adapt this fullsize to a 1/8 size model. Is it just a scaling operation on your fusion files to get to a smaller version? Or would I be better to start from scratch? thanks
The interesting thing is that 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 violins are not straight-up scaled. The distance from the bridge to the nut is, but the body size does not follow suit, so it's a bit more complicated than scaling the 3D model.
I really appreciate the video... I am new to Fusion 360 and just starting my first project modeling a mandolin top/back. I have a question about your Fusion 360 skills: As you are copying rows around the perimeter, you highlight the entire edge spanning six squares with one click... PLEASE tell me how you do that! I have to CTRL click each edge separately. You obviously know the secret speed trick... thanks in advance!
I was wondering if you have done this on aspire? I have not used fusion before. I would love to carve a violin on my cnc as well but lack the 3D skills.
Two Cherries Instruments I was originally interested in that software but when I bought my cnc the company sold me on how quick I can learn v carve and no monthly cost.
@@johnhickman366 Fusion 360 is free for hobbyists and enthusiasts. There is also a free commercial license for companies that make less then 100K per year. What you can do with fusion far exceeds what any other CAD/CAM software out there can do with only one exception.
Hallo, ich habe mir Schnittprofile und Maße aus Bildern von Geigen kopiert und im Cad skaliert und verarbeitet. Jetzt in Fusion 360 als Volumenmodell habe ich Probleme mit Decke und Boden. Mit T Spline und Fläche habe ich jetzt Probleme. GRUß CLAUS
This is just a demonstration that you can use Fusion. The model does not have a logical sense for sound design, the curves are drawn to the eye, without a design logic. Just a joke. If you want to be cool, then use appropriate programs, such as Rhynocerus with Rynocam ... but first you need to know what to draw and why.
@@TwoCherriesIns your answers confirm what I wrote; from the Strad poster you can only vaguely derive the external profile, not the sections, so you have to know how to calculate the sections according to the sound that will be produced, and therefore know what to do. It is not a problem of the tool path but of drawing.
@@edoardolivolsi4759 if you had bothered to watch the sectional analysis you would have noticed that I did that. This video is about the technique used to model the shape, its nearly 20 minutes long. The details your talking about would take much longer to explain. I noticed that you don't have any videos about 3d modeling on your channel, what is the issue you have with fusion360?
Brilliant!!

Got it, thanks! Your videos on the circle drawing technique will come in handy..appreciate it!
Could you loft over a wire wireframe (eg the Strad archings)?
Nope, you can not replicate the proper shape that way, the uncomfortable truth is that the only way to create these shapes is with sculpt.
@@TwoCherriesIns thanks. Still learning. Cheers

Thanks, where in the video is that? I made the one quite a while ago so you will have to excuse me if I don't recall it perfectly.
Do you have any guidance on how you created the contour guide line for the top arch. I am not understanding how you came up with the arching for it.
I just traced it out from the attached canvas, it comes form the contour on the Strad poster.
@@TwoCherriesIns That makes a lot more sense. I thought there was possibly a formula.
it's possible, I haven't found it yet.
Is there a reason the lines "normal" to the top edge weren't constrained as such? I figure this would make defining the contour easier
I'm not sure what you mean, all the lines in the sketches are locked.
Cool Man!!! Thank you very much!!!
you're quite welcome.

All the CAD and CAM for this is from fusion360, there is a learning curve but the ability to do all the CAD/CAM in one place sold me.

Please send me link violin back top STL file
I will be putting the Fusion 360 Files up on my patron page when the instrument is complete. Thanks,
@@TwoCherriesIns Thanks
Sorry, an der Profilierung der Oberfläche muss wohl noch gearbeitet werden.
Why do you think that is the case, It matches the profiles from the CT scans and Strad poster very closely, and is more symmetrical than the original.

The model is drawn from the strad poster of the guarneri del gesu vieuxtemps
If you use those programs how are you going to program toolpaths? The solid bodies in fusion have far more accuracy than any STL output from ryhno
