21st century cello
-
A young engineering student in the US has turned a high-school experiment into a new business by blending 3D printing and modern materials to reinvent one of classical music’s most iconic instruments, the cello.
Elijah Lee, a biomedical engineering senior at Yale and co-founder of Forte3D, just secured a massive deal on Shark Tank after 3D-printing a cello using carbon fiber and polymer composites.
Lee’s innovative cello, which replaces traditional tonewood with high-performance composites while preserving sound quality, earned him a USD 250,000 investment from entrepreneur Lori Greiner for 16 percent equity on the show.
