Making a Working 3D-Printed Piano Keyboard
Brian Yu of Dovetail spent six months designing, prototyping, and fabricating a working piano keyboard using 3D-printed parts. Its springy and compact mechanical keys are an engineering marvel, providing the movement, weight, and feel of an acoustic keyboard using compliant mechanisms. It uses IR sensors to detect motion and send it to a synthesizer.
