c Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Design, Analysis, and 3D Printing of a Musical InstrumentIntroduction The violin is the third most played instrument in the United States, behind the piano andthe guitar. However, quality violins usually start at around $500, but can cost significantly moredepending on the violin brand you choose [1]. For a family looking to buy a decent studentviolin, $500 might be a significant expense. For children who want to learn music outside ofschool, private lessons and community orchestras are additional expenses. For children growingup in a family where money is tight, being able to purchase a less expensive 3D printed violinmight provide them with opportunities to learn music

Itconsists of a schematic capture program (PROCAPTURE), a simulator (PROSIM), a displayprogram (PROWAVE), and two programs (XACT and PROFLOW) used to download the designinto the field programmable gate array chip.First, the class uses the schematic capture program to simply place an “AND” gate in the design.The circuit is simulated and the results displayed. Next, the process is repeated with a four flipflop ring counter. After that, the ring counter is placed and routed into the XILINX chip(XC3020-50), using the automated design program (PROFLOW).

14.174.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009Page 14.174.2Implicit Constraint Approach The underlying assumption in current mechanism analysis approaches is that the joints, whichconnect the moving rigid bodies, are ideal in their behavior. The concept of forming amechanism model using a standard set of idealized joints dates back to Reuleaux8, and is still theunderlying assumption in modern dynamic analysis computer programs like MSC-Adams,MathWorks SimMechanics9, and Working Model10. When joints, like roller bearings, are rigidlymounted and preloaded, radial stiffnesses of 108 N/m and higher11 are typical and the ideal jointassumption is reasonable. However when joints are designed with clearances and flexiblemounts, the ideal
