Jolly Music Adopts CreatBot 3D Printers
Company Introduction: A Rising Guitar and Bass Manufacturing Brand from the Philippines
Jolly Music is a guitar and bass manufacturer that has emerged in the Philippines. It is favored by music enthusiasts for its youthful, personalized and cost-effective products.
The company invests a significant amount of resources in innovative design, aiming to provide customers with more unique appearances and a more comfortable playing experience. However, in terms of prototype development and shell customization, Jolly Music also faces common challenges in the industry.
Industry pain point: High costs and low efficiency constrain personalized innovation
During the process of developing musical instruments, especially in the design and manufacturing of the shells of guitars and basses, there are three major drawbacks of traditional techniques:
-
The development cycle is too long - prototype prototyping usually takes 3–4 weeks
-
The mold cost is high - a new mold often costs several thousand dollars
-
Personalization is difficult to implement - small batch customization and complex appearance are extremely hard to achieve
These have repeatedly limited Jolly Music’s attempts at personalized design.
Innovative Solution: CreatBot Industrial-grade Large-sized 3D Printer
Jolly Music has introduced the CreatBot industrial-grade large-sized 3D printer D1000 HS:
A forming space of 1000mm in size
±0.05mm high precision and 24/7 uninterrupted operation stability
Supports high-performance materials such as carbon fiber reinforced materials, ABS, and nylon. It can directly print large-sized guitar and bass cases
Implementation process: From design to the final prototype for direct use
Design model: The Jolly Music team completed the exterior design of the shell in CAD.
Integrate the printer: Input the model file into the CreatBot 3D printer
Form the print: Use materials such as PLA and carbon fiber reinforced materials for printing, achieving a complete shell in one go
Post-processing: A simple cutting and polishing process will suffice, and it can then be directly assembled and used
The entire process was completed in just 72 hours, which was three weeks faster than the traditional method.
Outcome: Efficiency has soared, creativity has been unleashed
The CreatBot printer helped Jolly Music achieve:
The research and development cycle has been shortened by 75% - from design to completion, it only takes 3 days
Cost savings of 60% - Prototype production can be carried out without the need for expensive molds
Personalization capabilities enhanced - Can easily achieve complex shapes such as hollowing, curved surfaces, and unique textures
The prototype is the final product - the shell’s strength and surface finish can be directly tested during the performance
“As a guitar enthusiast, I have been constantly seeking ways to create a unique guitar. The experience of using the 3D printer of CreatBot to print the guitar shell was simply amazing! The printed guitar shell is not only extremely precise, with a smooth surface and perfect detail reproduction, but it is also custom-made exactly according to my personalized design.
After assembly, the sound performance is also very excellent, far exceeding my expectations. 3D printing has turned my creativity into reality. In the future, I will also try to print more different styles of instrument components. I highly recommend this to every music enthusiast who pursues individuality.”
