Abstract: A process involving first obtaining X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) digital scans of existing stringed instruments. The images obtained from the scans are imported into a computer. Using a suitable software program, the digital scans are converted to Stereolithography (STL) files of the virtual object, which was scanned, such as parts of the existing stringed instruments. The digital STL files are imported into a computer, which is attached to a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine. Using a suitable software program, the CNC machine is programmed to carve the new parts of the scanned original stringed instruments. The resulting carved stringed instrument parts can be made into assembled new stringed instruments. The resulting assembled new instruments are accurate copies of the original stringed instruments that were scanned.
