Collective All, I don't think this guy is for real. This is a scam.
What he is offering is something called Rapid Prototyping. A process whereby you supply him with 3d CAD files; usually of a type known as .STL, which are then sent to a Rapid Prototype printer. I won't go into the way it works. If you read his opening lines this is what he is asking for. What you would get back is a plastic or wax model that is fully functional but only in one colour ( usually white ) . The production process is expensive. The hardware e.g. printers cost around £60000 each for those that produce models no bigger than a shoebox, (you can buy kits for about £2000, which is probably what our mailer has, but the end product is appalling ). My business, which is in 3D visualisation, animation and 3D modelling offers this service thru' a third party company. He's right when he says you'll get it back in a week, the actual printing process is quite quick. But once you load it with strings it will just come apart. As for his little statement about seismographs. It's actually seismometers that pick up the movements in the ground, that's then transmitted to the seismograph, which plots it. My advice! Don't bother. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Spring, aus dem, Rainer Sent: 15 May 2009 08:20 To: [email protected] Subject: [LUTE] Re: Luthier , Engineered Best , Fastest , Cheapest Are you joking? Run a Google search on Mustafa Umut Sarac ... Just one quotatiomn: Originally posted by umutmt I am thinking for a short time to build a analog digital converter which do not lose any information. As you know , turntables and LPs are best known hi fi hardware and an lp record its music to 1 milimeter wide area. If i m wrong , bigger the recording medium , better the result. As you know , seismographs are extreme sensitive instruments and scientists research a 20000 kilometers distance earthquake with it. They record the vibration on to paper roll , may be 40 cms wide. I think , to record on paper and photographing with digital camera and stitch the pictures in a computer produce the best result.

Some time ago I saw videos on YouTube of an assembly in Istanbul where ouds were presented that were manufactured in the way described by Mr Sarac. Those ouds were played and compared to traditionally built ouds, and players would find them okay. I don't think the offer is b***t. And may I remind us of our standards of communication, please.
