OpenReed
About Us
OpenReed is an open-source initiative focused on 3D-printed tools, machines, and accessories for double reed instruments, emphasizing accessibility and affordability.
Project Goals
- Accessibility: Make double reed tools easily available to learners and musicians
- Affordability: Minimize costs by combining 3D-printed parts with standard hardware
- Open Source: Freely share designs and knowledge for the benefit of the double reed community
Design Philosophy
- Open-Source: Every design is created using open-source tools and shared openly with the community.
- Script-Based: Designs are defined by code rather than manual CAD operations, enabling reproducibility and effective version control.
- Parametric: Models are built with adjustable parameters, so one script can generate variants for different instruments, sizes, or printers.
OpenReed primarily relies on OpenSCAD and Python for design and development.
