This software automatically generates Stradivari-style arching profiles based on the plate width and height (thickness) defined by the user. The generated profiles can be printed to create physical arching templates.

Many luthiers attempt to reconstruct the Stradivari arch, but with its constructive principles remaining unknown, they are limited to mere imitation. This report presents a method to systematically reconstruct the Stradivari arch using trochoid curves. Furthermore, this study presents a method to generate a Stradivari arch of any specified width and height for practical application in instrument making.
