During the 2016 EGB (European Guitar Builders association) symposium, the luthier Ulrich Teuffel gave a conference about CAD and CNC as used in the guitar building domain. His conference was titled: CAD and CNC as the Camera Obscura.
The symposium took place during the two days prior to the 2016 edition of the Holy Grail Guitar Show.

Introduction of the conference
For the industries CNC is just a production system. But it can be much more: When Vermeer painted his View of the City of Del# in 1660 he used a Camera Obscura to translate the complex setup of perspective and shadows into his painting as never seen before.
For a guitar designer or builder CAD and CNC can be this Camera Obscura in his/her creating process. To me CNC is not about saving production time: it is about enabling. I want to discuss the practical approach and the parameters of this system. Which software and which type of machine is adequate for a guitar maker? How much does it cost?
