3D Model a Fretboard using Parametric Equations for CNC
This tutorial demonstrates how to 3D model a fretboard using parametric equations in Autodesk Fusion 360. In short, this drawing will let you create a fretboard of any scale by changing one referenced dimension (overall scale length). When finished this model can be used for the basis of creating a CNC cutting path for fretboard slotting.
This was created as a supplement for the STEM Guitar Academy MLA: 3D Modeling a Guitar Fretboard with Parametric Equations.

Thank you...just found this but was looking to build a 5-String Bass with fanned frets. I used your lesson here to develop that in Fusion 360 also. Awesome!
Thanks for posting this! I'm a banjo maker and new to cnc, this is just what I've been wanting to do
Very useful!
Absolute genius,thanks for this works great.
THANKS A LOT ! YOU ROCK !!!
Really helpfull thanks, will you make a video on the CAD part using fusion 360?
Awesome video. How would you do blind fret slots?
Would this work with 24 frets? I will also be doing a 7 string, what would the width be on that?
can i use this for bass guitar? how?

GuarioViral Yes, you can use it for any scale length. Use either 34" or 35" scale length for instead of the 25.5" example.
Thanks. I tried the formula using Inventor 2020 but it would not accept the “D” dimension. I had to use the value of 25.5 then all worked well. Must be a setting I do not have correct in my Inventor application?

I remember in my attempts at creating it in Inventor that I ran into the same issue. Can't remember if or how I got it to work, but this was another reason I decided to show it in Fusion 360.
