CNC Plywood Chair

Digital Prototyping for Architecture

 

CONCEPT

For the third assignment in the class Digital Prototyping for Architecture we were asked to explore the possibilities of the CNC technology. We had to produce a three dimension-
al object from two dimensional drawings exploring the inherent properties of the material (15mm laminated pine plywood). We wanted to create a comfortable piece of furniture that would be aesthetically pleasing and beautiful.

 

 

PROCESS / CUTTING

We managed to nest our pieces in one sheet of plywood, leaving us with another sheet for further explorations.
We were happy to keep material usage low while attaining the desired design.

CONSTRUCTION

We used a vaporizer to bring moisture to the wood and help us bend the plywood sheet.
