Donations are applied to...
In addition to our own research trajectory, we work with students, musicians, and companies to develop prototypes, explore proof-of-concept ideas, and much more! Funding supports the efforts of the EGIL, including collaborations with other WPI faculty and staff, as well as bringing in external professional musicians and innovators from the musical instruments industry.
We routinely reverse-engineer, 3D model, 3D scan, program and adapt existing parts and tools, and then create tool-pathing operations, fabricate parts, and perform real-world and software-based
simulations.
Message from Prof. Manzo
Through the Electric Guitar Innovation Lab, WPI students and faculty work together in a variety of interdisciplinary and open-ended projects to develop new innovations. Your gift will support this work.
Thank you!
