This paper demonstrates how component musical instrument parts can be recreated from manufacturers’ technical drawings using 3D printing. While the application of this technology is not new, previous approaches have usually involved Computer Tomography scanning of extant models. Instead we used surviving technical drawings of clarinet mouthpieces originally manufactured by Boosey & Hawkes. We demonstrated that this non-invasive technique can be used to 3D print musical component parts if the original plans survive, even when extant parts do not. We also demonstrated through qualitative feedback from professional musicians that hand finishing of 3D printed mouthpieces remains essential for skilled performers.

使用 3D 打印从制造商的技术图纸中复制乐器组件：以 Boosey & Hawkes 为例

本文展示了如何使用 3D 打印从制造商的技术图纸中重新创建乐器部件。虽然这项技术的应用并不新鲜，但以前的方法通常涉及现有模型的计算机断层扫描。相反，我们使用了 Boosey & Hawkes 最初制造的单簧管吹嘴的技术图纸。我们证明了这种非侵入性技术可用于 3D 打印音乐组成部分，如果原始计划存在，即使现存的部分不存在。我们还通过专业音乐家的定性反馈证明，手工完成 3D 打印吹嘴对于熟练的表演者来说仍然必不可少。
