Pia Pinedo’s current project is focused on making an Udu (musical instrument) with 3D printed ceramics. The Udus are manufactured manually with ceramics, and her intention is to manufacture a 3D model to make models of this musical instrument openly available in creative centers with this type of equipment. Her objective is to make a contribution to the musical and exploratory artistic field, and also to re-define construction methods of some instruments with new technologies, in order to give them a new evolution.
